I answer no; not a sound, undoubted spiritual 1persuasion. There is a double conviction, a conviction when a man cannot tell what to say against it: but spiritual conviction is when a man is convinced of the truth, and goodness of •he thing, and this always draws the other with it, first or last. A man may be convinced that he cannot tell what to say against ⟨p. 237⟩the truth, but that is not properly persuasion. A man is persuaded by divine truth that all the promises a•e true in the Gospel, and it draws with it a particular light: he sees, and is persuaded of his own interest in it, first or last: for a strong persuasion of divine truth, of Gods word; when I know it is Gods word, it works in my flesh, it changeth me, it lifts me up, it casts me down, &c. So that a Christian knows that the word of GOD is the word of GOD by a spiritual persuasion wrought by the efficacy of the word; from an intrinse call principle in the word it self.
