I will Speak to this promise,
First. In general.
Secondly, In particular.
In general. This word [shall] is confined to these [all] that are given to Christ. All that the father giveth me, shall come to me. Hence I conclude,
First, That coming to Jesus Christ aright, is an effect of their being (of God) given to Christ before. Mark, they shall come! Who? those that are given; they come then, because they were given. Thine they were, and thou gavest them me. Now this is indeed a Singular comfort to them that are coming ⟨p. 68⟩in truth to Christ. Thus then may the coming Soul reason with himself as he comes. Am I coming indeed to Jesus Christ? this coming of mine is not to be attributed to me, or my goodness, but to the grace and gift of God to Christ: God gave first my Person to him, and therefore hath now given me a heart to come to him.
