2. Our Calling when Election breaketh out in time, and becometh actual. Look, as the Heirs of Salvation are distinguished from others by Election in the Purpose and Bosom of God, so are they actually distinguished from others by effectual Calling. 2 Tim. 1.9. Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy Calling, not according to our Works, but according to his own Purpose and Grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the World beg••. Why doth God pick and choose, and cull here and there? The only reason is his own Grace, and his own Purpose. When we come to make choice, we cull and pick out those things that are worthy of our Love and Respect: And we favour none, but for something whereby we may be all•red to love them; but God saw nothing lovely in us, but yet calleth us with an holy Calling according to his Purpose and Grace. The same gracious Purpose that distinguisheth them from others before all Time, doth in time make an actual choice and distinction between them and others by effectual Calling.
