First, That God the Father, and Christ his Son, are two Distinct Persons in the God-head.
Secondly, That by them (not Excluding the Holy Ghost) is contrived, and determined, the Salvation of some of fallen Man - kind.
Thirdly, That this contrivance, resolved it self into a Covenant between these Persons in the God-head, which standeth in giving, on the Fathers part; and Receiving, on the Sons. All that the Father giveth me, &c.
Fourthly, That every one that the Father hath given to Christ (according to the mind of God in the Text) shall certainly come to him.
Fifthly, That coming to Jesus Christ, is therefore not by the will, wisdom, or power of man: but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father. [All that the Father giveth me, shall come.]
