1. Light. God hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light, 1 Pet. 2. 9. By darkness he meaneth that natural state of ignorance and sinfulness wherein all men before their calling lie. By light he meaneth a contrary state which is illumination and regeneration, wrought in us by the light of the Gospel, and by the work of Gods Spirit. 2. Holiness. God hath called us to holiness, Col. 4. 7. 3. Liberty. Ye are called unto liberty, Gal. 1. 13. 4. Fellowship of the Son of God. By God You were called unto the fellowship of his Son, 1 Cor. 1. 9. 5. Peace. God hath called us to peace, 1 Cor. 7. 15. 6. Suffering wrongs. For even hereunto were ye called, 1 Pet. 2. 21. 7. Blessing such as revile us. Knowing that ye are thereunto called, 1 Pet. 3. 9. 8. The Kingdom of God. God hath called you unto his Kingdom, 1 Thess. 2. 12. 9. Glory. God hath called you unto his glory, 1 Thess. 2. 12. By Gods glory is here meant that spiritual glory whereby Saints are made far more eminent then the most glorious natural men. 10. Salvation, eternal life, and eternal glory, 2 Thess. 2. 13, 14. 1 Tim. 6. 12. 1 Pet. 5. 10.
