practice_v it_o for_o want_n of_o strength_n or_o dare_v not_o for_o fear_v of_o punishment_n such_o a_o man_n may_v seem_v to_o turn_v from_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v not_o with_o his_o heart_n we_o must_v turn_v with_o the_o heart_n even_o so_o willing_o that_o it_o be_v our_o chief_a delight_n to_o use_v all_o mean_n for_o to_o set_v forward_o this_o work_n for_o nothing_o be_v do_v well_o

for_o as_o in_o scripture_n the_o phrase_n of_o a_o double_a heart_n 1_o chron._n 12.33_o a_o divide_v heart_n hos_fw-la 10.2_o a_o heart_n and_o a_o heart_n psal_n 12._o a_o be_v use_v to_o signify_v

not_o for_o show_v only_o we_o must_v draw_v near_o unto_o god_n not_o only_o with_o the_o lip_n 51.6_o psalm_n 51.6_o but_o with_o the_o heart_n also_o for_o he_o love_v truth_n in_o the_o inward_a

all_o his_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o his_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o his_o might_n 2._o king_n 23.25_o and_o of_o the_o people_n in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n asa_n that_o the_o oath_n which_o

rebellious_a sister_n judah_n have_v not_o return_v unto_o i_o with_o her_o whole_a heart_n but_o feign_o three_o we_o must_v turn_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n therefore_o our_o conversion_n must_v be_v a_o thorough_a change_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n of_o the_o whole_a life_n though_o it_o be_v imperfect_a in_o degree_n yet_o it_o must_v be_v perfect_a in_o regard_n of_o part_n we_o must_v not_o halt_v between_o god_n and_o baal_n we_o can_v serve_v both_o god_n and_o mammon_n god_n will_v not_o be_v content_a with_o a_o part_n of_o the_o heart_n he_o will_v either_o have_v all_o or_o none_o it_o be_v say_v of_o jehu_n that_o he_o do_v not_o walk_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o his_o whole_a heart_n for_o why_o albeit_o he_o obey_v god_n in_o some_o thing_n cut_v off_o the_o house_n of_o achab_n yet_o he_o depart_v not_o from_o the_o sin_n of_o jeroboam_fw-la 2._o king_n 10.31_o and_o so_o there_o be_v many_o that_o give_v but_o the_o half_a turn_n like_v to_o

turn_v from_o many_o sin_n and_o yet_o with_o herod_n remain_v unturned_a from_o one_o special_a belove_a sin_n these_o be_v but_o false_a turn_n our_o conversion_n must_v be_v a_o thorough_a change_n we_o must_v turn_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n final_o we_o must_v turn_v not_o only_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n but_o also_o with_o fast_v weep_a and_o mourning_n therefore_o our_o conversion_n must_v not_o be_v inward_a only_o but_o it_o must_v be_v express_v outward_o in_o these_o thing_n wherein_o consist_v the_o practice_n of_o humiliation_n namely_o fast_v etc._n etc._n and_o that_o
