Thirdly, Again, It is written in the Prophets, they shall be all Taught of God; every one therefore that hath heard and learned of the Father, cometh to me. Joh. 6. 45.
I shall not enlarge; but shall make some use and application, and so come to the next Observation.
First, Is it so? Is coming to Jesus Christ, Not by the will, wisdom, or Power of man; but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father? Then they are to blame, that cry up the will, wisdom, and power of man, as things Sufficient ⟨p. 175⟩to bring men to Christ.
There are some men, who think they may not be Contradicted, when they plead for the will, wisdom, and power of man, in reference to the things that are of the Kingdom of Christ: But I will say to such a man, he never yet came to understand, that himself is, what the Scripture teacheth Concerning him: Neither did he ever know, what coming to Christ is, by the teaching, gift, and drawing of the Father. He is such an one that hath set up Gods Enemy in opposition to him, and that continueth in such acts of defiance; and what his end, without a new birth, will be, the Scripture teacheth also: But we will pass this.
