Whosoever therefore thinks himself sealed by the holy Spirit of God, with a seal of demonstration, and with a seal of confirmation, and yet doth not these three things, is deceived, and deceiveth his own heart; it is Satan's seal, and not Gods, that is upon him; his sealing is a sealing to the day of destruction, not a sealing to the day of redemption.

Having finished what I promised, I shall now draw to a conclusion of the whole, and shall conclude this thus.
Having travelled through the holy Scriptures, and searched the Records thereof▪ to see what I might find therein, that might entitle me to the inheritance of the Saints in Light, I ⟨p. 209⟩have taken notice of divers remarkable places of Scripture, very helpful for this purpose, some of which I have studied industriously, according to my poor ability, and through the help of my gracious God, have acquired some comfort and satisfaction thereby in this weighty matter of evidence: what the Lord hath been pleased to impart unto me, in this weighty matter. I have committed to writing for my own present and future benefit, and that I might leave it for a Legacy to my Children after me, which having done, I commit this work, and the Reader of it to the blessing of God, through Jesus Christ.
