Query III.
Read the Scriptures, and inquire whether God's People, who have lain long ⟨p. 85⟩under sharp inward Terrors, have not at last found settlement and inward peace by those very Methods, which the Principles that quiet you, do utterly exclude?
If you will fetch your Peace from a groundless Notion, that your Sins were pardoned, and your Persons justified from all eternity, and therefore you may apply boldly and confidently to your selves the choicest Promises and Privileges in the Gospel, without any regard to Faith or Repentance wrought by the Spirit in your Souls: I am sure holy David took another Course for the settlement of his Conscience, Psal. 51. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. And it hath been the constant practise of the Saints in all Ages, to clear their Title to the Righteousness of Christ wrought without them, by the Works of his Spirit wrought within them.
