The principal efficient cause of our conversion is the holy Ghost, 1neither is any man converted but by his special favour. But he effecteth it in men of ripe years, especially by knowledge of Gods word and faith there unto given: which is in all that repent & in them alone: so that neither faith is without conversion, nor conversion without faith. Psal. 51. 12. Create in me ô God a clean heart. And v. 13. I will teach the wicked thy ways. Jer. 3. 18. […] me […] Lord and I shall be converted: because after ⟨p. 254⟩thou diddest convert me I repented. 1. Cor. 4. 15. I have begotten you through the gospel. Act. 15. 9. By faith the heart is cleansed. Heb 4. •. The word they hard profited them not, because it was mixed with faith in them that heard it. James 2. 17. Faith without works is dead. Rom. 14. 23. That which is not of faith is sin.
