Create in m•e, O God, a clean heart, renew in me a right spirit: Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, establish me with thy free spirit: Doth he not declare that his heart was unclean, his spirit crooked, the joy of1 his salvation lost, and himself subject to the spirit of bondage? So that wanting the spirit of liberty or adoption, he could neither cry Abba Father, nor have any power against sin? Thus you see how Gods children may be blinded in mind, and hardened in heart for a time, so that they feel in themselves the grace of the holy Spirit, to be as it were perished and dead.2
