Now Jesus Christ the Son of God, that is his honour and his work to rear up a new world, and that is a better world a great deal than the former world was; and the special creatures of this world they are his Saints, and the new Creation in their hearts; now this is the condition of a converted soul, it is made a new Creature, All old things are done away. 1Thou that livest in thine old ways, and art altogether for thine old customs, and what shalt thou do contrary now to what thy Fore-fathers did, and thou thy self hast done all thy life time? and the like; oh this is a dangerous kind of reasoning! why, thou must be a new Creature, and all things are to become new in thy soul; thou must know; that the Old Man is dead in thee, and that the New Creature is reared up in thee, or else thou canst not know, that if thy soul should this night ⟨p. 296⟩depart, but that thou shouldest be an undone Creature for ever.
