to have the image of esus Chri••in us, whereby we may be holy according to our proportion even as he himself is holy, this is the Sanctifying of the heart There must be an habitual Sanctification and an actual Sanctification of the heart: An Habitual, that is that the heart must be changed through the work of Regeneration there must be a Regeneration in the heart, there must be Divine principles of the Graces of the Spirit of God in the heart.

But you will say, May not an unregenerate man Pray?
To that I Answer;
It is true, it is his duty to pray, Pour forth thy wrath upon the Heathen, and upon the families that call not upon thy Name: But it's as true, that they cannot Sanctify Gods Name in doing of it: But if we would Sanctify Gods Name in it there must be an Habitual holiness in the heart, for every thing doth act according to its principles, in nature it is so; and so doth the heart when it comes to Worship God, it doth act according to the principles that it hath.
