This doctrine is often met withal in the Scriptures, and wonderful comfort is contained in it, upon which the faithful may at all times boldly lean in all their trials and afflictions, be they never so hard and difficult to be borne; to wit, that they shall ever be preserved under Gods protection, because he hath elected them.1 For thus stands the argument, I have made and formed the Church: the salvation of it shall stand for ever, 2because I will not leave the work that I have begun unfinished, but will bring it unto perfection. In a word, the Lord testifies that he will go on with his work, and will preserve it, because it concerns his own honour, and our salvation.
