§. 9. But as to the question it self, Whether Faith be given absolutely or conditionally? I answer, 1. There is no absolute promise of faith made to any persons; but only promissory predictions of some indeterminate unnamed persons, that God will draw them and give them to Christ, and they shall believe and live.
2. All men have means and duty appointed them, for the seeking of that Grace which may convert them.
3. They are hereby bound to believe, that if they so do, they shall not lose their labour. For God setteth men on no unprofitable work.
4. Those that do this most faithfully, and have most preparing grace, are the likest to become believers, and the ordinary receivers of special grace.
