But those that are written in the Lambs Book of Life.
These words explain the matter: Those, and those only, shall enter here, that are found written in the Lambs Book of Life. Now by Book of Life, we are to understand two things in the Scriptures of Truth: First, Either the Book of Gods eternal Grace and Mercy through Christ, in which all the Elect are recorded for ever: Or, Secondly, That Book of Life in which the Lord Jesus hath all recorded that are visible Saints by calling; for, for both these there is a Book of Life. For the first of these, I judge these Scriptures do suit, Luk. 10. 20. 2 Tim. 2. 19. Phil. 4. 3. and for the second, these, with that in the Text, Exod. 32. 32, 33. Rev. 22. 19.
