Tenthly, He hath a witness 1within himself, He that believeth, hath a witness in himself, 1 John 5. 10. For he hath the Spirit of adoption to certify him infallibly of Gods love to him, and that he ⟨p. 141⟩is the child of God, Rom. 8. 15, 16. & thus the believers are said to be sealed by the Spirit of promise, Eph. 1. 13, 14. God leaves a pawn, a pledge with every Christian that shall be saved, to be as the earnest of his salvation, and this pledge and earnest is Gods spirit. And the Spirit testifies to the believer, partly by revealing unto him the certainty and truth of Gods promises in his Word; and partly by printing upon his heart these saving graces, which distinguish him from all others; and partly by pouring upon him the joys, which are called the joys of the Holy Ghost, in the use of Gods Ordinances, as the inward ratification of the assurance of Gods love and goodness to the believer. Of which after.

God leaues a pawne, a pledge with euery Christian that shall bee saued, to be as the earnest of his saluation, and this pledge and earnest is Gods spirit. And the Spirit testifies to the beleeuer, partly by reuealing vnto him the certainty and truth of Gods promises in his Word; and partly by printing vpon his heart these sauing graces, which distinguish him from all others; and partly by powring vpon him the ioyes, which are called the ioyes of the Holy Ghost, in the vse of Gods Ordinances, as the inward ratification of the assurance of Gods loue and goodnesse to the beleeuer.
