GOD promiseth in the New Covenant,* 1.1 to take away the stony heart out of their flesh (that is, the stony hardnesse which was in their heart before) and to give them a heart of flesh, that is, a soft and tender heart, to tremble at GODS judgements, beleeve his promises, and obey his Com∣mandements.

You shall looke on him, whom you have pierced, and you shall mourne for him, as one mourneth for his onely Sonne, and be in bit∣ternesse

for him, as one that is in bitternesse for his first-borne, Zach. 12.10.

See Ezek. 20.43. & 36.31.

If thou complainest of a hard heart, challenge GOD with his promise, and in a holy reve∣rence and humble boldnesse, charge him with that Covenant mentioned in Ezekiel.
