Four things (I observe) God doth work in every sound Convert, with reference to the Laws and ways of Christ, by which you may come to know your estates, if you will be faithful to your own souls; and therefore keep your eyes upon your hearts, as you go along.
1. The Judgment is brought to approve of them, and subscribe to them, as most righteous, and most reasonable. Psal. 119. 128, 137, 138. The mind is brought to like the ways of God, and ⟨p. 53⟩the corrupt prejudices that were once against them, as unreasonable, and intolerable, are now removed. The understanding assents to them all, as holy, just, and good. Rom. 7. 12. How is David taken up with the excellencies of Gods Laws? How doth he expatiate in their praises, both from their inherent qualities, and admirable effects? Psal 19. 8, 9, 10, &c.
