1 That there is nothing required by God in his Word as our duty, but God hath either promised to bestow it upon us as his gift, or the Saints have prayed to God for it as his gift. God commands us to love him, but he hath promised to circumcise our hearts to love him, &c. Deut. 30. 6. God commands us to fear him, 1to turn our selves from our transgressions, and to make our selves a new heart, and a new spirit. 2But he hath promised to give us a new heart, 3and a new spirit, to put his fear in our hearts, 4that we shall never depart from him, 5and to turn us ⟨p. 127⟩from our evil ways. The Saints of God also have prayed unto God for this, as the fruit of his free mercy, Jer. 31. 18. Lam▪ 5. 21.
