1. Concerning Testimonie. 2. Concerning our Condition.
1. There is a three-fold testimony 1about our estate; 1. One is from the Spirit, which shines in the renewed heart by an unspeakable light, 2and manifests unto it the things given unto it of God, and so seals, and witnesseth the truth and goodness of our particular interests in God and Christ, according to the word of God. 2. Another is from faith, which doth testify the interests of the soul in that happiness which it finds revealed ⟨p. 104⟩in the Word: For that which faith believes by a direct act in the Word, it may testify of the same to the person by a reflexive *act. 3. A third is from Conscience, which beholding the simplicity and godly sincerity of the heart, testifies unto it (against all opposition) that this blessed frame is in the soul; and this testimony being concordant with that of the word, the soul is thereby greatly sustained, forasmuch as this is known before, viz. A sincere temper is happy; and now Conscience clearing that temper, the soul hereupon is much cheered.
