Answ. 1 No, not yet, For our evidence for heaven, is in Gods keeping, our comforts as well as our Graces, and our evidence for heaven, as well as our heaven and Salvation, and he will bring it forth when we have most need, in a due time, though not in our time. And if, you look into Isa. 46. you shall see, what a Gracious promise the Lord makes unto hard-hearted sinners, An invitation and promise together, vers. 12. and 13. hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off▪ and my Salvation, it shall not tarry, O! but, I have no righteousness, to lay my assurance upon, well, yet saith the Lord, never speak of thy righteousness, man, I will bring near my righteousness. O! but, my heart is dead, and hard & stout. Then hearken unto me ye stout-hearted, •aith God, O! but, I am far off from righteousness. Be it so, yet hearken to me ye stout-hearted that are far from righteousness, I will b•ing near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my Salvation shall not tarry.
