their hearts were not turned to God.
Reformation, term against which no OBJ
lection is ever made, would, if words con.
tinued their primitive Specification, convey
the same idea. For it is plain that to re-
form means to make anew. Tn the present
use, however, it does not convey the same
meaning in the same extent, nor indeed
does it imply the operation of the same
principle. Many are reformed on human
motives, many are partially reformed; bu,

the rooted inclination must be subdued by
the substitution Of an opposite one. The
natural bias must be changed. The
