But now if spiritual hatred of sin were implanted, then the combat twixt sin, and the person would be inward, the very heart would loath the nature and inclinations of it, and it would be universal and constant, so that here would arise a general evenness in a mans conversation. Unevenness though it appear without, yet it begins within the heart, is the main wheel of a mans course, and therefore if love gets the heart for God, and hatred rules the heart against sin, you may very well believe that these two will yield out a very upright endeavour and course of holiness. In spirituals, that which keeps the fountain, doth keep the stream, and that which betters the heart, doth likewise well order the life.
