Fifthly, That obedience that springs from faith, is a transforming §5obedience; it mightily alters and changes a man, from impurity to purity, from sin to sanctity,1 from unrighteousness to righteousness, from earthly-mindedness, to heavenly-mindedness, from pride to humility, from hypocrisy to sincerity, &c. Such as please themselves with this, That they are no changelings, and that they are whatever they were,2 these are still in the gall of bitterness, and bond of iniquity. That obedience of the Romans, 3which was said to have come abroad unto all men, was an exemplary obedience, and a transforming obedience.

But having spoken more largely of this in my other writings, let this touch here suffice, &c.
