There are two things, among many, that Satan useth to Roar Out, after them, that are coming to Jesus Christ.
1. That they are not Elected. Or, 2. That they have sinned the sin against the Holy Ghost.
To both these I answer briefly.
First, Touching election, out of which thou fearest thou art excluded: Why coming sinner, even the Text it self affordeth thee help against this doubt, and that by a double argument.
First, That coming to Christ, is by virtue of the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father; but thou art a coming, therefore God hath given thee, promised thee, and is drawing thee to Jesus Christ. Coming sinner, hold to this: and when Satan beginneth to Roar again, Answer: but I feel my heart moving after Jesus Christ; but that would not be, if I were not given by promise, and drawing, to Christ by the power of the Father.
