that_o think_v man_n have_v such_o a_o principle_n and_o seed_n of_o grace_n lie_v hide_v in_o his_o heart_n by_o nature_n which_o if_o it_o be_v draw_v forth_o by_o persuasion_n and_o exhortation_n and_o man_n will_v make_v use_n thereof_o be_v sufficient_a to_o convert_v he_o do_v not_o enough_o consider_v how_o utter_o corrupt_v every_o man_n be_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n and_o without_o any_o spiritual_a strength_n it_o be_v true_a man_n be_v reprove_v in_o the_o scripture_n for_o love_a darkness_n rather_o than_o light_v and_o because_o they_o will_v not_o come_v to_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v have_v life_n but_o such_o scripture_n be_v so_o far_o from_o imply_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o change_v our_o own_o heart_n will_n and_o affection_n that_o they_o show_v the_o to_o we_o invincible_a prejudice_n and_o opposition_n that_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o have_v neither_o power_n nor_o will_n to_o turn_v unto_o he_o such_o say_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v show_v what_o need_n we_o have_v of_o the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o god_n power_n to_o work_v upon_o such_o not_o only_o impotent_a but_o wilful_a and_o desperate_a creature_n as_o all_o be_v by_o nature_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o willing_a and_o run_v and_o strive_v in_o natural_a man_n upon_o great_a conviction_n such_o as_o balaam_n have_v when_o he_o say_v let_v i_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o let_v my_o last_o end_n be_v like_o he_o but_o this_o one_o consideration_n will_v be_v of_o much_o use_n to_o guide_v we_o in_o this_o question_n that_o when_o god_n command_v man_n in_o his_o word_n to_o pray_v to_o repent_v and_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o do_v these_o

of_o a_o awaken_v conscience_n to_o get_v from_o under_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n will_v bring_v no_o man_n to_o heaven_n neither_o do_v these_o working_n of_o the_o heart_n answer_v to_o those_o command_n of_o god_n to_o believe_v and_o to_o repent_v but_o be_v only_o a_o show_n of_o those_o grace_n they_o be_v something_o like_o conversion_n but_o be_v not_o conversion_n this_o which_o have_v be_v say_v may_v be_v illustrate_v from_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o stony_a ground_n matth._n 13._o to_o which_o they_o be_v compare_v that_o hear_v the_o word_n with_o joy_n and_o for_o a_o

some_o common_a conviction_n and_o common_a working_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o the_o text_n say_v they_o have_v no_o root_n they_o have_v not_o the_o root_n and_o habit_n of_o grace_n in_o their_o soul_n plant_v in_o they_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o whence_o these_o thing_n do_v proceed_v if_o any_o shall_v say_v how_o shall_v we_o know_v these_o sudden_a working_n of_o the_o heart_n

and_o such_o as_o be_v describe_v in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n from_o that_o believe_a repent_v and_o those_o spiritual_a affection_n that_o flow_v from_o the_o habit_n and_o principle_n of_o grace_n put_v into_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o difference_n may_v be_v know_v by_o the_o permanency_n and_o continuance_n such_o sudden_a flash_n as_o be_v in_o balaam_n be_v soon_o over_o and_o leave_v the_o heart_n unmortified_a unpurged_a but_o the_o principle_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o believer_n be_v eternal_a and_o remain_v for_o ever_o where_o there_o be_v the_o root_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n though_o it_o be_v not_o always_o put_v forth_o itself_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o fix_a principle_n and_o desire_n in_o the_o heart_n to_o admire_v free_a grace_n to_o prize_n christ_n and_o to_o cleave_v to_o christ_n to_o mourn_v for_o sin_n and_o to_o walk_v with_o god_n though_o there_o be_v not_o always_o

on_o a_o sudden_a the_o lord_n awaken_v and_o startle_v their_o conscience_n
will_v forbid_v the_o old_a sinner_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n if_o they_o do_v not_o flatter_v god_n with_o their_o lip_n and_o feign_v themselves_o to_o be_v saint_n but_o be_v indeed_o bear_v

if_o the_o lord_n please_v to_o give_v they_o a_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o they_o god_n be_v please_v to_o convert_v some_o that_o be_v the_o most_o unlikely_a to_o find_v mercy_n every_o way_n

of_o the_o thief_n upon_o the_o cross_n in_o a_o dying-hour_n be_v record_v for_o a_o encouragement_n of_o all_o such_o as_o hereafter_o come_v to_o be_v sensible_a of_o their_o sin_n though_o very_o
