The truly blessed man, or, The way to be happy here, and forever being…

4. In the work of Conversation there is a new nature put into the man. The man that is here said to be without Guile, is to be supposed a true Convert, for there is nothing else but Guile in an Unconverted man; he is wholly acted by a Delved Heart which perverts him. Isa. 44 20. But when God comes to Convert a Sinner to himself, he then makes a powerful and thorough Change in him, 2 Cor. 5. 17. This is that which is called ⟨p. 104⟩the New Man, in opposition to natural Corruption, which is called the Old man, Eph. 4. 22, 24. This is called the New Heart, which God hath said he will give to men in this work, Ezek. 36. 26. And what else is the New Nature, but a body of Sanctifying Graces, infused into the man, by which he is Regenerated, or born again?
