Object. 2. The will of God is unchangeable; but he will the salvation of the Elect: Therefore it is unchangeable. Answ. I grant that it is true, concerning the purpose and counsel of God, but not concerning our affiance, which we have of the remission of sins: for our comfort standeth not together with errors, which are contrary to the foundation, and with sin committed against our consciences. For then are we said to have remission of our sins, when we apply these benefits to our selves. Now in Christ Jesus ye which once were far off, are made near by the the blood of Christ. 1I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people: And they shall say, Thou art my God.
