Eighthly,1 natural conscience may put a man upon denying of the world, and suffering hard things, yet the heart is never by it crucified unto the world, the inward lusts are not mortified, there remains still as much love to the world as ever there was, there is yet a drossy unclean spirit within, the corruptions of the heart still remain in the root, howsoever they be kept in for a while, by the power of conscience, such a one would as gladly enjoy the delight of the world as ever, but he dares not: but where Faith is the principle, there the inward corruptions of the heart are mortified, Faith crucifies ⟨p. 246⟩the heart unto the world, it does not only enable to deny ones self in outward things, but it changes the very frame and temper of the heart; the inward disposition of the soul is not after any thing in the creature, as it was before, but it is sanctified, it is made heavenly, it is raised above any thing that is here below.
