In this vocation of a sinner God doth so administer both his ⟨p. 345⟩Word and Spirit, as he knoweth it becometh both his justice¹ and mercy in Christ, always reserving to himself full and free power to call whom he please, according to the good pleasure of his will, But this distribution of vocation into external and internal, is not a distribution of the kind into its specials, but shows rather what doth concur to that work of vocation,² whereunto obedience is willing and freely yielded.
