I shall only observe three Propositions from hence. Doct. 1. Everlasting Life is a free Gift, or Salvation is wholly by Grace; it is only of God, and the Gift of Jesus Christ. Doct. 2. The Saints of God are committed into the Hand of Christ, he hath the Care and Charge of them. Doct. 3. All the Saints, all Believers, or Sheep and Lambs of Jesus Christ, have Everlasting Life given to them; and they shall, every Soul of them, be saved, and none of them so fall away as eternally to perish.
