1. The ground of our Regeneration (as before of our Adoption) is our union with Christ our head, and this is wrought by faith on our part, and by the spirit on Gods part. First, I say, by faith on our part, which is a most holy faith, Jude ver. 20.1 to difference it from the faith of reprobates, Tit. 1.1. and from the faith of devils, Jam. 2.19. the one being holy, the other unholy. This faith of Gods Elect purifieth the heart, Acts 15.9. and Act. 26.18.2 Hereby Christ dwells in our hearts, Ephes. 3.17. and where he dwelleth there he moulds fashions, frames, and renews the heart, there he makes a new Creature, yea I may say, a new Christ. My little children, of whom I travel in birth again, until Christ be formed in you, saith the Apostle, Gal. 4.19.3
