My fifth Proof is from those texts that in terms seem to assign ⟨p. 83⟩a causality to such obediential acts, which can be interpreted of no less then a conditionality; such are Luke 19.17. Mat. 25.31, 23, 34, 35, 40, 46. Gen. 22.16, 17, 18. 2 Chron. 34.26, 27. Psalm 91.9, 14. Mark 7.29. 1 John 3.22, 23. John 16.27. Rev. 3.10. and 3.4. and 7.14, 15. &c. And though some of these texts speak not of Divine acceptance to life; yet first, some do; secondly, and the rest speak of no mercy but what is as freely given as Justification. A mans own works are excluded other Means and parts of salvation, as well as that.
I run over these briefly and generally, both because I expect that the bare texts without my Comments, should work upon the Considerate, and because I have been so much upon it formerly in other writings (as Confess. §. 3. p. •6. cap. 3. & cap 5. §. 2. pag. 117, 118. & alibi passim) as that I apprehend in this work more tediousness than necessity.
