2dly. I shall tell you what Application there must be, if we cannot attain to Assurance. There are three degrees of Application beneath Assurance.
(1.) Acceptation of God's Offer, that is one degree of Application. Job 5.27. Hear it, and know thou it for thy good. Put in for these Hopes, and take God on his Word; stipulate with him, and undertake thy part of the Covenant, upon a confidence God will not fail thee. As Moses, when the Book of the Law was read, Exod. 24.6. took half the Blood, and sprinkled it on the Altar, to show that God undertook to bless them: and ver. 8. the other half he sprinkled on the People, by which they were engaged to obey. There must be in all Christians, the Answer of a good Conscience, 1 Pet. 3.21.
