A general persuasion of the things, of the general truths, and a particular personal persuasion of our interest in them. When we are persuaded that the truths are so, generally, that are revealed in the word of God; and when we are persuaded by the help of the spirit that we have a particular interest in them, a portion in them. And both are here meant. They see them a far off, and were persuaded of them, they were convinced both of the truth, and goodness of them: and of the truth and goodness to them in particular.
A generall perswasion of the things, of the generall truths, and a particular personall perswasion of our interest in them. When wee are perswaded that the truths are so, generally, that are revealed in the word of God; and when we are perswaded by the help of the spirit that wee have a particular interest in them, a portion in them. And both are here meant. They see them a farre off, and were perswaded of them, they were convinced both of the truth, and goodnesse of them: and of the truth and goodnesse to them in particular.
Now persuasion is a settled kind of knowledge.
