1. A new life is a life according to the New Covenant which God hath made with fallen man. Men that walk in old sinful courses, continue the Covenant they have made with sin and Satan: But a man that walketh in newness of life, is a man that hath entered into a New Covenant with God, Ezek. 36.26. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put into you; I will take away the stony heart […] of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. Ve• 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statu•es, and ⟨p. 262⟩ye shall keep my judgments, and do them; And to walk thus in Gods Statutes is to walk in newness of life.
