Eighthly, When God calls his people to some great and noble work, when he puts them upon some high services, some difficult duties, some holy and eminent employments, then his Spirit comes and sets his seal upon them, Jer. 1. 5. Before I formed thee in the belly, I ⟨p. 241⟩knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee to be a prophet unto the Nations. The Lord sending the Prophet Jeremiah to denounce most dreadful judgements against a rebellious people, an impudent brazen-faced Nation, he assures him of his eternal election, and of his choice presence, and singular assistance in that work that he set him about, vers. 8, 17, 18, 19. Thus the Lord dealt with Peter, James and John, Matth. 17. 1, to the 6th, and thus he dealt with Paul, Acts 9, to 23.
