Again, it not only reveals these truths to you that are regenerate, but likewise it puts a strong inclination into your minds to do them. And therefore it is a part of the Covenant, Jer. 32. 40.

Again, it not onely reveals these truths to you that are regenerate, but likewise it puts a strong inclination into your minds to do them. And therefore it is a part of the Covenant, Ier. 32. 40. I will put my Law into their 1hearts, that they may fear my Name, that is, I will so ingraft it in their hearts, that they shall not onely know my will, but they shall have a strong inclination to do it; they shall be careful to please me, and fearful to offend me.
