For 1. The Scripture tells us of a sure persuasion of things believed, Luke 1.1. [Greek or Hebrew] and Luke holdeth forth to Theophilus a certainty of knowledge [Greek or Hebrew] that thou mayest know the certainty of these things whereof thou hast been instructed, So the word imports a certainty, Act. 5.23. Act. 21.34. Act. 22.30. Act. 25.26. Act. 2.36. Let all the house of Israel know [Greek or Hebrew] assuredly. A full and certain persuasion excludeth all doubting and deception or mistake, and this the Saints have and may have, Col. 2.2. That their hearts might be comforted—unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, [Greek or Hebrew] 1 Thess. 1.5. The Gospel came not to you in word only—but in much assurance, Rom. 4.21. being fully persuaded. This was the persuasion of a faith, and ⟨p. 278⟩such a faith as by which we are justified without works, Rom. 14.5. Let every one be fully persuaded [Greek or Hebrew] in his own mind, 2 Tim. 4.17. That by me the preaching might be fully known. Nor is that persuasion of Pauls Apostolic, or by revelation extraordinarily, but common to all Christians, Rom. 8.38. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, &c. shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord,
