Q. What are the Parts of the Preparation of the Soul so Christ?
A. They are two.
1. Contrition, whereby the Spirit immediately cuts off the Soul from its security in sin, by making it to mourn for it, and separating the Soul from it, as the greatest evil, Isa. 61. 1, 3. Jer. 4. 3. 4. Mat. 11. 20, 28. 2. Humiliation, whereby the Spirit cuts the Soul off from self-confidence in any good it hath or doth. Especially, by making it to feel its want, and unworthiness of Christ, and once submitteth to be disposed of as God pleaseth, Phil. 3. 7, 8. •ke 16. 9. Luke 15. 17, 18, 19.
