1Obs. That all those who shall be saved are given to Christ, and committed to his trust, that they may be kept to Eternal Salvation, That look as the devils 2 Pet. 2.4. have the beginning of hell already, and are said to be [Greek or Hebrew] kept in chains of darkness to judgement, so that they can never evade or escape it; Thus the godly they have the beginning of heaven, they are interested in Christ, and therefore Jude 1. are called the [Greek or Hebrew], and the Crown or inheritance of glory they are to receive is said [Greek or Hebrew], kept safe in heaven, So that all the power in hell and the world, are not able to deprive them of it; This is very comfortable news to the people of God to hear they are kept, if they were left to their own selves, how horrible and irrecoverable would their fall be.
