THE fourth part containeth the effect of all that went before. For except we will that the Father have sent his son in vain, and that his son also hath suffered, and is risen again in vain; that the holy Ghost was promised and sent in vain: we must needs believe that the effect of all these is, that the Father in Christ by the power of the holy Ghost doth build up a new people unto himself, whom before he had freely chosen, with whom he doeth enter into a free covenant, and to which he doth communicate him self and all his benefits, Isaiah 53. When he shall lay down his soul a sacrifice for transgression, he shall see the seed that shall prolong his days, and the will of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand, &c. Eph. 2. ver. 6.
