"If truth can generate nothing morally good, unless by being embraced; and if it is never heartily received antecedent to the renewal of the mind; to consider it as instrumental in effecting the original change, is plainly a contradiction. It is to say, that the due reception of truth is the cause of regeneration, while, at the same time, regeneration is itself the cause of a due reception of truth. Thus the effect is the cause of its cause." ("Williams Essay," pg. 345)
