A90678 The Gospel nevv-creature; wherein the work of the spirit is opened, in awakening the soul; to the getting pardon of sin, and an interest in Jesus Christ; without which, it is undone to all eternity. Discovering the false refuges, and vain hopes for heaven, of ignorant and formal professors in this nation, tending to rouze them out of their carnal security, before it be too late. Whereunto is added, (by way of comfort, to all dejected soules) the tempestuous soul calmed by Jesus Christ. / By A. Palmer, preacher of the Gospel at Bourton on the Water in Gloucester-shire. Palmer, Anthony, 1618?-1679.; Palmer, Anthony, 1618?-1679. Tempestuous soul calmed. 1658 (1658) Wing P216; Thomason E1826_2; Thomason E1826_3; ESTC R209826 155,076 274

with_o a_o good_a heart_n no_o one_o so_o confident_a of_o the_o goodness_n of_o his_o heart_n as_o a_o hypocrite_n because_o he_o know_v not_o his_o own_o heart_n in_o that_o great_a reformation_n in_o josiahs_n time_n jeremiah_n speak_v of_o chap._n 3.10_o that_o judah_n turn_v to_o the_o lord_n but_o feign_o not_o with_o the_o whole_a heart_n yet_o the_o people_n think_v otherwise_o of_o themselves_o as_o it_o be_v likely_a when_o they_o enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n with_o god_n with_o good_a josiah_n this_o be_v it_o that_o most_o poor_a sinful_a creature_n do_v bolster_v up_o themselves_o with_o in_o their_o ignorance_n and_o security_n that_o they_o do_v all_o to_o god_n and_o man_n with_o good_a heart_n whereas_o a_o renew_a soul_n doubt_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o his_o heart_n and_o have_v matter_n of_o humble_v for_o it_o in_o every_o duty_n 2._o another_o mistake_n of_o poor_a soul_n be_v as_o to_o the_o gospel_n new-creature_n from_o a_o misprision_n of_o

and_o under_o the_o power_n and_o reign_v of_o sin_n infirmity_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v not_o allow_v by_o they_o but_o humble_v for_o mourn_v for_o every_o day_n watch_v against_o the_o root_n of_o they_o they_o endeavour_v to_o mortify_v through_o the_o spirit_n which_o the_o common_a professor_n that_o call_v all_o his_o sin_n his_o infirmity_n do_v not_o oh_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o infirmity_n of_o such_o as_o be_v indeed_o new-creature_n and_o between_o the_o reign_a sin_n of_o natural_a man_n sin_n reign_v in_o its_o peace_n power_n

regenerate_v and_o the_o carnal_a part_n which_o mistake_v usual_o be_v bottom_v upon_o a_o misunderstanding_n of_o that_o place_n of_o paul_n rom._n 7.15_o for_o that_o which_o i_o do_v i_o allow_v not_o etc._n etc._n hence_o say_v many_o unregenerate_a graceless_a person_n why_o though_o they_o do_v break_v out_o into_o such_o and_o such_o hang_v and_o omit_v such_o and_o such_o duty_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o allow_v themselves_o in_o it_o that_o be_v their_o conscience_n be_v not_o whole_o sear_v and_o so_o make_v some_o resistance_n and_o this_o they_o take_v to_o be_v save_v grace_n a_o gross_a and_o most_o dangerous_a mistake_n now_o take_v such_o a_o person_n and_o he_o have_v not_o a_o delight_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n as_o paul_n have_v vers_fw-la 22._o do_v not_o cry_v out_o as_o inward_o burden_v wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o the_o body_n of_o this_o death_n no_o such_o daily_a complaint_n

as_o to_o the_o new-creature_n know_v therefore_o that_o faith_n which_o have_v convince_v the_o soul_n of_o its_o own_o weakness_n and_o so_o bring_v it_o to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o life_n that_o
