Tempted. God purposed his Son should dye for all men, and that in his name an offer of remission of sins and salvation should be made to every one but yet upon this condition, that they will do that which he means the greatest part of them shall never do, (idest) Repent and Believe, nor I among the rest.

Minister. God hath a true meaning that all men who are called, should repent and believe; that so they might be saved: as he would have all to be saved, so to come to the knowledge of the truth; and as he would have no man to perish, so he would have all men to repent; and therefore he calls them in the Preaching of the word to the one, as well as to the other.
Tempted. God hath a double call; an outward call by the Preaching of the word, an inward call by the irresistible work of the spirit in mens hearts. The outward call is a part of Gods outward will, with that he calls every man to believe; the inward and effectual call is a part of his secret will, and with that he doth not call every man to believe, but a very few only whom he hath infallibly and inevitably ordained to eternal life. And therefore by the outward will, which I enjoy among many others, I cannot be assured of Gods good will and meaning that I shall believe, repent, and be saved.
