the Belief and Obedience of the Truth in converting Mens Minds unto God and placing them in their just and due Habitude to Almighty God And this according to the various Workings thereof is sometimes called the Spirit of Regeneration the Spirit of Renovation the Spirit of Sanctification the Spirit of Holiness the Spirit of Adoption the Spirit of Prayer and Supplication the Spirit of Life c. according to the various Energies that this great Effusion of the Influences of the Blessed Spirit had upon the Minds of Men. And this great and more diffusive and effectual Effusion of this Influence under the Gospel was no other than what was prophesied of by the ancient Prophets Isa 25.7 I will destroy in this Mountain the covering cast upon the face of all people Isa 11.9 The Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the Sea Isa 54.13 All thy Children shall be taught of the Lord Isa 59.20 This is my Covenant that I will make with them my Spirit that is upon thee and the words which I have put in thy mouth shall not depart from thee nor from thy seed nor from thy seeds seed Ezek. 36.27 I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my Statutes and keep my Judgments and do them Isa 44.3 I will pour out my Spirit upon thy Seed Joel 2.28 I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh And this Energy of the Divine Influence appears first by a secret Irradiation and Illumination of Understanding 2. By a powerful Persuasion and inclining of the Will both which as they were with a more vigorous and effectual Dispensation under the first breaking out of the Light of the Gospel so they do accompany the Publication of it unto this day and shall unto the end of the World though by reason of the Corruption of the Lives and Manners of Mankind not with equal Success in all Ages And thus far concerning the Supernatural Means of converting the Soul to God and consequently restoring it to its true Felicity and Blessedness CHAP. XIV The Conclusion AND thus I have taken Occasion upon this small Particle of Nature which hath been under my Consideration to make this not unprofitable Digression touching the true genuine and natural Position and Conversion of the Soul towards Almighty God I have shewn what it is namely The humble and sincere Love of him Trust in him Obedience to him and Delight in him I have shewn that this is the most natural and reasonable Habitude of the Soul that wherein consists her Duty Happiness and Rest I have shewn the great Reasonableness and Obligation of the Soul unto it the Means instituted by the God of Heaven for our Attainment of it And that every thing in the World attains and enjoys its sutable Perfection and Felicity when it attains and keeps that Position State Station and Place which the great and wise Creator and Disposer of all things hath appointed for it and consequently there is no way for the humane Soul to attain its sutable Perfection and Tranquillity here in this Life and everlasting Happiness and Glory hereafter but in its holding that due Habitude and Respect to Almighty God before described And that this next to the Glory of his Great Name is the principal Reason and End of all these admirable and special Methods of his Providence towards the Children of Men both in their Creation Preservation and that stupendous Work of their Redemption by Christ If we shall now look into the several Parts of the Vniverse we shall find that every thing in nature intensely affects that Station Position and Order that the God of Nature hath instituted for them and in the holding thereof they attain and enjoy all that Felicity if I may so call it that their Nature is capable of and when by any Accident they are out of that Station they are in discomposure and therefore by a strange regular connatural Appetite they endeavour to recover it again If we look up to the Heavenly Bodies they constantly and regularly observe and keep those Stations and Motions that the God of Nature by the Law of their Creation hath instituted for them If we look unto the Planetary and Elementary Bodies we shall observe no less If we look upon the Animals we shall observe them regularly to comport themselves according to the several instituted Laws of their Species and those admirable fixed Instincts that are rivetted into their Constitutions If we look upon Vegetables they all regularly in all their vital Appearances do follow strictly and regularly the Laws and Methods of their several Kinds Nay this pitiful inconsiderable Mineral the Magnet in all his Motions and Affections regularly and exactly follows those Laws and Directions that are implanted in his Nature But if we cast our Eyes or Thoughts upon the Children of Men and their Ways and Walks whose immortal Souls are directed to a nobler End than most of other visible Creatures and have Capacities fitted to have a Reception of the noblest Object in the World the Glorious and Eternal God and to have an humble Communion with him which is his True Position Habitude and Happiness I say if we look on Mankind we shall for the most part find it quite otherwise like Babies Ideots and Fools they fix their Souls and the whole Verticity of them pardon my borrowed Expression upon Rattles Baubles and Toys and imbase their Souls and Faculties with poor sordid Vanities and Trifles and neglect that Magnum oportet wherein their Perfection and Happiness consists so that we may justly take up the Prophet's Complaint both against our selves and others Jer. 8.7 The Stork in the Heaven knoweth her appointed times and the Turtle and the Crane and the Swallow observe the time of their coming But my People know not the Judgment of the Lord. And were this in the time of Paganism those times of Ignorance which the Apostle says Acts 17.30 God winked at the Wonder were not great But this happens in the Christian World where the Gospel and Holy Religion instituted by the Son of God is published and professed to be believed as we shall easily find if we take but an Estimate of the Ways Designs and Delights of Men even in the Christian World 1. How many there be that bid open Defiance to Heaven Atheists that account it the Glory of their Wit and Courage to make a Scorn of Religion and of the Life to come and this not only by their Actions but even by open Professions and Words as far as they durst do for fear of Humane Laws 2. How many there be that wholly give themselves up to sensual Pleasures Debauchery Incontinence Gluttony Drunkenness that make little or no Improvement of their Reason but in making Provision for their sensual Lusts and fulfilling of them with more advantage than Brutes the whole Bent and Current and Tendency of their Souls is after Sensuality and wholly
