CHAP. XXVIII. Of our assurance and comfort from Acts of free Grace
33. The pure, rational, and glorious assurance of salvation, comes from the pure manifestation of the Spirit bearing witness. This is the white stone, 1Rev. 2.17. The unction whereby we know all things, 1 John 2.20. and the things freely given us of God, 1 Cor. 2.12. There is assurance, 1. by Reason, or the mere light of nature, and works of this creation, as in Job and Cornelius; but sure there is no salvation out of Christ. 2. By graces, gifts, or fruits of the Spirit, self-denial, faith, repentance, and by the Letter, Promises, or outward Ordinances or duties: this assurance is of no higher and clearer, and more glorious certainty then God through these doth afford, and that is darkly (as the Apostle saith) as in a glass.
