Remember therefore, that we do not only take here Gods kindness sealed in the Sacrament, but we repromise back again to lead new lives. All must resolve by his grace to obey him henceforward; and to take him for our God. The way therefore will be to put this into the condition of your promise now, and prayer after: Lord, I have promised this, but thou knowest I cannot perform the promise I have made, and the condition thou requirest, of my self: but in the Covenant of grace, thou hast said that thou wilt make good the condition: thou hast promised to give the spirit to them that ask him; thou hast promised to Circumcise my heart, thou hast promised to teach me, thou hast promised to delight over me for good, thou hast promised to Wash me with clean water, thou hast promised to put thy fear in my heart, thou hast promised to write thy Law in the affections; I would fear thee, and love thee, and trust in thee, and delight in thee: thou knowest I cannot fulfil the conditions, thou art able and willing; thou art as able to make me do these things as to command me to do them▪
