Euse. When a man believeth the gospel he is certain of the remission of his sins, he is certain of the favour and good will o• God, and he is certain also of everlasting life. And he that letteth go this faith, and falleth to doubting, ⟨p. 473⟩he shall never enjoy the aforesaid benefits, but be cast into everlasting damnation.

The. This considered the holy Apostle right well, when he without any doubting being throughly persuaded and assured of Gods good will toward him,1 (set forth in his holy promises,) said on this manner, I know & am sure, that he (in whom I have put my trust) is able to keep that, which I have committed to his keeping against that day. Again,2 I have fought a good fight, I have fulfilled my course. I have kept the faith. From henceforth there is laid up for me a •rowne of righteousness, which the Lord (that is a righteous judge) •hall give at that day, not to me only, but unto all them also ye love •is coming.
