5. That soul that hath such Believing thoughts of the life to come, that he taketh the promised blessedness for his portion, and is resolved to venture all else upon it, and in hope of this glory, doth set light comparatively by all things in this world, and waiteth for it as the end of his life, choosing any suffering that God shall call him to, rather then to lose his hopes of that felicity, and thus persevereth to the end: I say that soul, and none but that, shall be Justified in Judgement, and escape Damnation.
In these five marks I have told you truly and briefly, who shall be justified and saved, and who shall be condemned at the day of Judgement. And if you would have them all in five words, they are but the Description of these five Graces, Repentance, Faith, Love, Obedience, Hope.
But though I have laid these close together for your use, yet lest you should think that in so weighty a case I am too short in the proof of what I so determine of▪ I will tell you in the express words of many Scripture Texts, who shall be Justified, and who shall be condemned.
