then_o the_o case_n be_v clear_a and_o the_o point_n evident_a that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o stony_a heart_n and_o give_v a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n if_o god_n alone_o by_o his_o almighty_a power_n do_v these_o thing_n than_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o work_n it_o be_v his_o work_n to_o do_v this_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o poor_a sinful_a creature_n the_o first_o use_n be_v a_o use_n of_o instruction_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o therefore_o this_o great_a work_n of_o conversion_n the_o fit_a and_o prepare_v of_o a_o poor_a sinner_n to_o entertain_v the_o lord_n jesus_n it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o great_a weight_n it_o be_v a_o work_n not_o of_o ordinary_a but_o of_o marvellous_a and_o admirable_a difficulty_n if_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n only_o if_o nothing_o else_o can_v do_v this_o work_n but_o it_o lie_v upon_o god_n alone_o almighty_a power_n if_o all_o mean_n fail_v nay_o if_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n &_o angel_n stand_v aghast_a &_o amaze_v at_o this_o work_n than_o i_o must_v conclude_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n work_v and_o be_v aught_o to_o be_v marvellous_a in_o our_o eye_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o marvellous_a wonder_n that_o any_o creature_n that_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n and_o satan_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n it_o be_v a_o miracle_n that_o after_o all_o teach_n after_o all_o mean_v use_v any_o soul_n be_v humble_v and_o prepare_v to_o receive_v mercy_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n nay_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o see_v little_a profit_n come_v from_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n when_o we_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o this_o work_n of_o conversion_n we_o may_v wonder_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o any_o be_v convert_v and_o bring_v home_o unto_o the_o lord_n the_o minister_n be_v fain_o to_o lift_v up_o their_o voice_n like_o trumpet_n and_o spend_v their_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v they_o pray_v again_o and_o fast_o again_o and_o preach_v again_o and_o yet_o all_o will_v not_o d_o you_o for_o when_o be_v the_o heart_n of_o any_o humble_v when_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o any_o turn_v and_o convert_v unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o away_o with_o that_o curse_a delusion_n that_o harbour_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o many_o man_n they_o will_v repent_v and_o they_o will_v believe_v when_o they_o listen_v why_o alas_o it_o be_v not_o in_o your_o power_n it_o be_v the_o almighty_a work_n of_o god_n thou_o have_v not_o the_o work_n of_o repentance_n to_o command_v at_o thy_o pleasure_n it_o be_v not_o talk_v and_o say_v i_o do_v repent_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n and_o do_v believe_v that_o will_v serve_v the_o turn_n this_o will_v not_o do_v the_o lord_n must_v work_v effectual_o in_o thy_o soul_n by_o his_o almighty_a power_n or_o else_o the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o sin_n and_o thy_o soul_n will_v not_o be_v dissolve_v or_o else_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n and_o power_n of_o satan_n that_o be_v in_o thy_o soul_n will_v never_o be_v vanquish_v or_o else_o the_o resistance_n that_o be_v in_o thy_o soul_n and_o which_o come_v from_o this_o strength_n against_o the_o blow_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o all_o mean_n that_o may_v fit_v it_o and_o prepare_v it_o for_o to_o receive_v the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o mercy_n from_o he_o will_v never_o be_v remove_v a_o man_n shall_v sometime_o find_v that_o the_o indisposition_n of_o his_o soul_n to_o any_o good_a shall_v be_v a_o little_a abate_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n the_o edge_n of_o it_o will_v a_o little_a be_v blunt_v but_o a_o poor_a soul_n can_v be_v free_v altogether_o from_o this_o until_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o lord_n by_o his_o almighty_a hand_n to_o remove_v it_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o first_o of_o james_n the_o 18._o verse_n the_o text_n say_v 1.18_o jam._n 1.18_o of_o his_o own_o will_n beget_v he_o we_o by_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o

teach_v the_o word_n and_o people_n that_o hear_v the_o word_n we_o must_v know_v that_o unless_o the_o lord_n step_v in_o and_o do_v the_o work_n for_o we_o all_o our_o labour_n be_v lose_v it_o must_v be_v i_o ●ay_v the_o lord_n that_o must_v take_v away_o the_o stony_a heart_n and_o it_o must_v be_v he_o that_o must_v give_v the_o heart_n of_o 〈◊〉_d it_o be_v not_o talk_v and_o make_v a_o
