Should persons chosen of Christ be called to remember, and acquaint us how they come to be converted, they would readily answer, by grace we are saved through faith, and that not of our selves, it is the gift of God. As the air would no more admit the beams of the sun than a rock, were it not suited and dispos’d hereunto by that God, who commands the light to shine into it; so neither will the rocky hearts of men admit the light of the Gospel to any saving purpose, till softened by the hand of God, and brought under a divine impression.
