The birth of a Christian unto Christ is secret and undiscer. ned as dew falls in small and insensible dropes, Dr. Edw. Renolds, on Ps. 110. * The worke of grace, is rather s•lt, and perceived by him that hath it, then that which can be expressed, or made knowne to a mans selfe or others, it being a wonderful secret and bidden life. An to. Burgesse on Joh. 3.8. The direct act of faith may be without the reflex act; it is on thing to believe, another to know that I believe. Natha. Culverwel on 2 Pet. 1.10. To have grace, and to know that we have it, are two distinct benefits; the spirit workes grace, yet does not alwaies shew us the things he hath given us. The Church doth not alwaies take notice of her owne graces, and the right she hath to comfort Dr. Sibbs on Cant. 5. set forth by Mr. Nye. We know not how conversion is wrought in us, in its first moment. Despaigne Vulgar errours, p. 11.12. Many are drawne by grace yet know not the Mathematical point of time, Rutherford on John. pag. 276. Opera Spiritus sunt interna, & imperceptibilia, Solique Deo & possessoribus nota, R. Crosse in Conc. pag. 7. Inchoatae regenerationis tem. pus non semperscitur aut discernitur ab ipso regenito, vel alio quovis inspectante, ut experientia docet in aliquibus, qui à pueritia in exercitiis religionis educati sunt, in quorum conversione, nulla notabilis mutatio perspici potuit; in his verum compertum est Christi dictum. Non venit regnum Coelorum cum observatione, &c. David Dicsonus. Therapeu•ica sacra. pag. 128. & 172. Grace is often received an childhood, and is then ordinarily wrought by the teachings and instructious of parents: So that few believers can name the time or Sermon when they were converted. Mr. Baxier in his thirteenth direction for peace of Conscience. Many are eminent in sanctification, whose growth in grace is seen and yet the beginnings not knowne. M. Blake of the Cove. pag. 464. M.
