(7) Now that it is testified to us by the Writings of those who have been regenerated out of this zEarthliness, and at length are entered into a holy and incorruptible Life, who have written and taught of an eternal joyful Life, and also of an eternal perishing and anguishing Life; and have taught us how we should follow after them, and how we should step into a new Birth, where we should be regenerated out of this Earthliness, into a new Creature, and that we should do nothing else about it but follow them, and then we should find, a in Deed and in Truth, what they had spoken, written, and taught. Yea even in this Life we should see our true native Country in the new Regeneration, and know it (in the new-born Man) in great Joy, whereas then our whole Mind would incline to it; and in our new Knowledge (in the new Man) true Faith would grow, and the hearty Desire of the unfeigned Love towards the hidden God; for which noble Knowledge Sake, many Times they have yielded their earthly Body and Life to the unregenerated Gainsayer (according to his devilish, malicious Revenge) into Death, and have taken it with great Joy, and have chosen for themselves the eternal incorruptible Life.
