SERMON V.
2 Pet. 1.10. Wherefore the rather, Brethren, give all diligence to make your Calling and Election sure.
The Doctrine I am yet upon in the prosecution of these words, is this, That Christians should put forth a great ⟨p. 58⟩deal of diligence to make this sure to their souls, that they are effectually called by Jesus Christ. In the managing of which, I laid down the last Lords day twenty Propositions; ten in relation to wicked men not called, and ten Conclusions for the comfort of them that are effectually called by Jesus Christ. I am now to proceed in the dispatch of six cases of conscience, which I shall handle about effectual calling. Three of which concern men not effectually called, and three touching Believers, who are called by Christ to grace here, and to hopes of glory in the world to come.
