The last part of spiritual life is, newness of life and conversation, whereby we are borne anew, and made new creatures: not because the substance of body and soul is changed, but because the image of God is restored. Now this change both for the whole and for the parts ⟨p. 35⟩thereof, is by faith. Touching the whole: Men as they are new creatures have their beginning from the word of promise, or from Christ crucified who is propounded in the promise, and that as the said word, or Christ is apprehended by faith. Act. 15.9. Your hearts being purified by faith. 1. Joh. 3.3. He which hath this hope, purifieth himself. 1. Pet. 1.22. Your souls are purified in obeying the truth. And again, Being borne anew of the immortal seed of the word.
