11. But although the whole man be partaker of this grace, yet it first and chiefly, agrees to the soul, and afterward from the soul is derived to the body, as the body of it is capable by that obediential power wherewith together with the soul it is subject to the will of God. So also in the soul first and properly it agrees to the will, from which it is derived into other faculties according to the order of nature. Deut. 30. 6. The Lord thy God shall circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. Rom. 2. 29. The circumcision of the heart.
