A new heart is proper and peculiar to a new Creature, fit, and but fit, to give the appearance of a new Creature.
The Creature therefore is to be accounted new, only as it can derive newness from within, newness from the heart and spirit; all without may be new, all the apparel new, and yet the person old that wears it; so all without may be new in appearance, profession, words and actions, all new, and yet the Creature old still; the newness of the Creature consists chiefly in the renovation of the inward man; I say (chiefly) not only.

A new Creature is one all glorious within, one that hath the root of the matter within him, as Job speaks (to wit) integrity in his inward parts, a new heart and spirit.
