Q 7. Can no man come to Christ till thus enabled?
A. No, it's not in the power of man's nature or will, till thus renewed and enabled. Eph. 1.19, 20. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him on his own right hand in the heavenly places. John 6.44. No man can come to me except the father which hath sent me draw him.
Q 8. What sort of men are most ordinarily called?
A. The poor and mean ones in the world. 1 Cor. 1.26. For ye see your calling brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called; but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.
