The upright Christian worketh from an inward principle, the new Creation within; and thence it is, that spiritual things are so natural and delightful to his regenerate part, as we see in David, I delight to do thy will, O my God; how cometh this to pass, but from an inward principle? Thy Law is within my heart, Psal. 40.8. or as it is in Hebrew, Thy Law is in the midst of my bowels. But now an hypocrite usually acteth from some outward principle, as the Pharisees did, Matth. 23.14, 27. Matth. 6.1, 5. the wind from without makes their Mill to go; some goads, or whips, force them forward; hence it is, that like tired Jades, ⟨p. 147⟩they are presently weary, and desire nothing more then to rest, and cease from such unpleasant labour.
