The application of redemption

Hence the Reason follows thus:

No work of Application is without respect to a Qualification; but Evidencing is a work of Application: without an act of Receiving there is no Application, for the applying of any thing to another, ever in common sense, implies some to whom it must be applied, and who must receive it; But […] […] to a Qualification there is no act of receiving […] Privileges, therefore without respect to a […], there is no application of them: If the very act of Receiving be performed by a Qualification, then without respect to this, there is no Receiving: But the very act of Receiving is done by a Qualification, 1 Cor. 2. 14. The Natural man receives not the things of the spirit of God, therefore there must be more than Nature. Joh. 1. 12. To. […] many as Received him he gave this Power and Privilege to be the Sons of God, even to as many as believe on his name; Receiving and Believing are all one. Thus then, Without a Qualification of Faith, there is no Receiving; and without Receiving respected, there is no applying of any Privileges; […] without applying, no Evidencing; therefore […] respect to a Qualification there is no Evidence […] by the Spirit, nor enjoyed by the Soul.¹
