Lastly, the Spirit of God 1in the hearts of his children stirs up in them this Amen, as a seal of their ⟨p. 16⟩effectual calling. If you should ask me, what effectual calling is; I answer, It is nothing else but the hearts Echo, and answer to Gods speech. God calls, and we answer. This is by S.

Therefore you see, there must needs be an Amen wrought in the hearts of the children of God.
