Phil. 1. 29. For to you it is given on the behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake. From this Text Grotius himself confesseth that it is proved that Faith is the gift of God.
Joh. 3. 27. A man can receive nothing except it be given him from Heaven.
If nothing, then not Faith. If they say, they received it not, the Apostles question may shame them. What hast thou which thou hast not received?
Obj. That's meant of gifts that were for Edification.
Answ. I. Much more of Faith, which is a special Grace.
