Reformed Covenanter

A truly broken spirit is also a believing spirit. Faith and repentance are inseparable twins, bred together in one and the same sanctified womb of the converted Soul. Faith first is in us in order of nature at least, but actual Repentance is apt first to appear: as sap and life are first in the root, yet buds leaves and fruit first discover themselves in the branches.
They shall look upon me whom they have pierced: there’s faith, for with what other eye can they behold Christ crucified? And they shall mourn for him, &c. there’s brokenness of spirit resulting from it, Zech. 12. 10.
