The effectual calling of a Sinner, is the visible and infallible Effect of electing Mercy; and God is unchangeable in his own purpose, and faithful to his Promises of bringing all such by Sanctification to Glory.

Grace that was at first inspired, is continually actuated by the Spirit, who is styled the Earnest of the Saints Inheritance. So that whereas the Angels that excelled in strength, kept not their first State of Purity and Glory, but are sunk into ⟨p. 420⟩Corruption and Misery, yet true humble Believers, though weak, and encompassed with many Difficulties, shall be preserved from destructive Evil, and raised to an unchangeable Estate of Perfection. This is as truly admirable, as if the Stars should fall from Heaven, and Clods of Earth ascend and shine in the Firmament. The Apostle who acknowledged his insufficiency of himself to think a good Thought, yet triumphantly declares, I can do all things (within the compass of his Duty) through Christ that strengthens me. The Love, Fidelity and Power of God are a sure Fountain of Assistance to every Christian, that sincerely resolves and endeavours to prosecute his last and blessed End.
