To this the Apostle shall answer, Though the promise 1of Salvation be conditional, yet every on that truly believeth, his faith hath from God a light in it that makes him believe and repent, 1 Cor. 2. 12. We have received, saith the Apostle not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given us of God; So that the true believer hath received such a light, from the word, which letteth him see and know in some measure, that he hath faith and repentance. Then what can hinder him from believing in ⟨p. 154⟩Christ, that hath done all this for him, he may know he is chosen in that he is effectually called, he may know he is effectually called in that he hath true repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus, and therefore he may be assured of his Salvation.
