1 Nee, Creature, !'bat. Firfl, the heart muff bee new moulded, or car} into a new frame. You may fee this by comparing it with the old man, we (hall know the one by the other : you !hall finde that when Adam's nature was corrupted, there was a diforder in all the faculties. As for exam - ple, in the Ruine of a Palace, there-are the materials left HI, 'only the order is taken away; fo in the cor- ruption of nature, there are the fame naturali operati. ons, but all is difordered and yarned up-fide downer. thus wxs the confufion of man after the fall, But the New Creature doth worke the contrary, it lets up the houfe againe, and re.flores us unto our hrft efface in Adam. When a man is made a NewCre4ttIre, hinfoule is put in }oynt againe, fo that the face of every facul- ty lookes towards God, whereas before it looked to- wards the world, fin and hell, the Ioule is quite altered, as a man that turnes his face froth Ea(l to Wefl,where- as a man had before his back, now he bath his face tur- ned to heaven; therefore it is called Turning to the Lord,. Obferve here two things: Firtl, when wee fay, you muff bee car} into a new frame, it is not enough to have the a4 ìions of the foule changed, but the whole bent of the foule. Io a regenerate man,the turning of thea6tions is no- thing, for even when he doth that which is evil!,, the bent or pofiture of his foule ffands to God, although it be tranfported to doe evil!, and it is true on the other fide, although an evill man doth good aìions, yet the bent of his foule lookes another way, for therein Hands the alteration of the New Creature, even in the bent of the faculties, which is to turne us from Sa_ WO #,no God.
