Will you know upon what ground we acknowledge two sorts of election?1 I will show you three sorts in scripture. First God chose the people of Israel to be his church. Secondly Christ chose the twelve Apostles, to spread the Gospel abroad in the world, thirdly he chose not all of either of these to eternal life, because amongst the Israelites many were called, but few chosen, amongst the Apostles one was a Devil. But he knew whom he had chosen, I mean to eternal life, and not only to the Apostleship, whereunto also he chose Judas. So there are three sorts of vocation or calling: first to the visible church,2 whereof it is said many are called: secondly to the church of Saints, which calling is internal and effectual, which Paul nameth §1according unto his purpose, viz. of saving those §2which are called: thirdly, to some certain charge §3or duty in this life, so my vocation is to labour in this school.
