The very God of peace sanctify you wholly▪ I pray God your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless until the coming of Jesus Christ. All of man is made up of spirit, soul, and body, that is the Theological distinction of the faculties: the spirit that is the more rational and Angelical part of the soul, understanding, conscience, will ••••d then there is soul, the lower part, the more brutish and sensual affections and desires▪ and then body, the outward man, the instrument of soul, which needeth to be sanctified, that is, kept in a good order and frame, that it may not rebel, or disobey the motions of the better part. You see *then every faculty must be seasoned with the new nature; this leaven must get into the whole lump; the mind, memory, conscience, will, desires, delights, all must be brought into conformity to the Image of God. And as every faculty must be sanctified, so there must be every grace: In Conversion there is introduced into the Soul a stock of truth, and a frame of grace▪ called in other terms the anointing, 1 John 2. 27. and the seed of God, 1. John 3. 1•. There is a stock of truth brought into the understanding to season that; not that every one that is regenerate doth actually know all truths, but there is a saving light and knowledge of things necessary; they see enough to avoid courses of damnation, and to cleave to the ways of God: and there is an inquisitiveness after truths, and a suitableness to them when they are revealed; they are teachable, though actually ignorant; there is something in their hearts that carrieth a cognation and proportion ⟨p. 31⟩to every truth, and claimeth kin of it when ever it is revealed. And then there is a frame of grace; for the mind is not only enlightened, but the will and affections are sanctified, and the heart inclined to choose the ways of God, and to obey him when ever occasion is offered. The habits of all grace are brought into the heart by Regeneration, as original •in containeth the seeds and habits of all sin: though there be not explicit workings of all graces at that time, yet they are introduced, and make up one sincere bent of the Soul towards God, called holiness in truth, Eph. 4.
