This blessed work of Regeneration, is in Scripture called sometimes the new birth*, because it is begotten of a new seed, the Word, Jam. 1.18. And sometimes the new creature*; new, not in substance, but in quality. This is the great promise, Ezek. 36.26. A new heart also will I give you. Observe, Remission and Regeneration are two twins. When God pardons, he takes away the Rebels heart. Where this work of Regeneration is wrought, the heart hath a new Bias, and the life a new Edition. How great a privilege this is, will appear two ways. Till this ⟨p. 43⟩blessed work of Regeneration, we are in a spiritual sense, 1. Still-born. 2. Illegitimate.
