First, Therefore I will shew you how we may know when our duties are acted by our natural parts rather than by the Spirit of God.
Secondly, How we may know whether our duties be acted by natural Conscience rather than by the Spirit of God.
1. First, If thou art acted by natural parts, they will not change thy heart: Men that do perform duties by the strength of natural parts, they may be as large as others, and speak to the edification of others, but those duties do never change their hearts; now if thou beest acted by the Spirit of God, thou wilt be changed into the very Image of his Spirit.
2. Secondly, If men are acted by Natural parts, they will not carry them through difficulties and discouragements; but now the Spirit of God if thou hast acted by him, though thou doest meet with never such difficulties, and discouragements, thou wilt be carried through them all.
