2. There is required on your part, an entrance into the Kingdom of the Mediator by Faith and Repentance. Matth. 18.3. Except ye be Converted, and become as little Children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of God. As little Children are newly entered into the World, and beginning their Life, all things are become new to them: So those that have the privileges of God's Children, must become as little Children, enter into a new State, carry on a new Life and Trade, with which they were not acquainted before. Our first admission is by a consent to the ⟨p. 372⟩New Covenant; Gal. 3.26. Ye are all made Children of God by Faith in Christ; depending on the merit of Christ's Sacrifice, and binding our selves by a solemn Word, to perform the Duties required of us, which we renew again in the Lord's Supper.
