The new heart, therefore, which is the effect of the Spirit's agency in regeneration, is a penitent heart. Hence it is plain that true repentance does not precede regeneration. Permit me here to remark, I have not asserted, that the sinner is not under obligation to repent, previous to regeneration. It is unquestionably the duty of every sinner immediately to repent. We are not considering now what is duty, but what is fact.
