2. True Conversion, It is the singular fruit of God's great 1Love, and of his rich mercy to a mans soul, the sure token of great love: God hath a common love and mercy, and God hath a choice love and mercy; there are some to whom he hath a great love, and unto whom he shows rich mercy: Now Conversion is a drop out of that great Ocean; the man is greatly beloved of God, who is converted by God. 1 Joh. 3. 1. Behold what manner of Love the Father hath bestowed on us, that we should be ⟨p. 340⟩called the Sons of God. Eph. 2. 4, 5. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, v. 5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us.
