to_o have_v new_a heart_n shall_v rather_o question_v whether_o they_o themselves_o be_v so_o sanctify_v and_o their_o heart_n so_o real_o and_o actual_o change_v as_o to_o have_v new_a heart_n and_o spirit_n and_o when_o we_o come_v to_o examine_v this_o very_a thing_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o ordinary_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o heart_n which_o by_o nature_n be_v so_o desperate_o wicked_a to_o be_v so_o real_o and_o actual_o change_v though_o the_o life_n may_v be_v much_o change_v yet_o the_o heart_n may_v be_v the_o same_o even_o like_o a_o paint_a sepulchre_n beautiful_a without_o but_o within_o full_a of_o dead_a man_n bone_n but_o for_o this_o he_o make_v use_v of_o 2_o pet._n 2.20_o of_o man_n escape_v the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n through_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o yet_o may_v be_v again_o entangle_v in_o they_o but_o do_v the_o author_n know_v no_o difference_n between_o man_n hear_v of_o christ_n calling_n for_o holiness_n and_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o do_v now_o leave_v their_o former_a profaneness_n and_o pollution_n hope_v to_o get_v heaven_n or_o make_v themselves_o worthy_a of_o christ_n by_o this_o their_o reformation_n i_o say_v be_v there_o no_o difference_n between_o this_o and_o the_o have_v of_o the_o heart_n real_o and_o actual_o changee_v because_o herod_n do_v many_o thing_n and_o hear_v john_n baptist_n glad_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v so_o sanctify_v as_o to_o have_v his_o heart_n real_o and_o actual_o change_v and_o purify_v act_v 15.9_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v only_o by_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o life_n may_v be_v reform_v by_o education_n by_o

out_o of_o love_n thankfulness_n and_o obedience_n to_o our_o redeemer_n and_o this_o be_v the_o gospel_n and_o christ_n administration_n of_o the_o law_n but_o this_o author_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o the_o bottom_n they_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n and_o tenure_n of_o debt_n and_o that_o they_o be_v but_o still_o under_o the_o first_o covenant_n which_o be_v a_o mere_a contradiction_n for_o
