1To works of creation there needeth no preparation; the almighty •ower of God calleth them to be his people, that were not his people, 1 Pet. 2. 10. And by calling them to be so, he maketh them to be so. Rom. 9. 25, 26. As he saith in Hosea, I will call them, My people, which were not my people; and her, Beloved, which was not beloved. Verse 26.
