1. Hath God forgiven thee? then he hath given his Spirit to enlighten thee in the great mysteries of Salvation; thou pleadest thou art ignorant, and art not Book-learned; if God have so great a favour for thee as to pardon thy sin, he will give thee understanding in the mysteries of the Gospel, Jer. 31.34. where God pardons sin, they shall have this mercy to be taught of him.

2. God will give this unto thee, he will write his Law in thy heart; that is, he will work in thy heart a suitable frame and disposition to his Law; that thy heart and the Law of God shall be like two copies, that have the same things in them, and vary not one title from one another; there shall be a suitableness between thy heart and the Law of God; not only to do that which God requires, because I must do it; but because I find it suitable to the new nature bestowed on me: he will write his Law in the heart; and therefore I pronounce before the Lord this day again, that whosoever has his sin pardoned, and his iniquities forgiven, that God hath writ his Law in the heart of that man or woman by the finger of his own Spirit; that heart of thine that was as a heart of stone, God will write his own Law thereon, as he did on the Tables that Moses broke; though always thou hast not a real sight of it, yet such a thing is there, and is a comfortable assurance of the pardon of thy sin.
