That many of the Reprobate are said to be lightened, and to be made partakers ⟨p. 61⟩of the holy Ghost, to have tasted the heavenly gift, the good Word of God, and of the powers of the world to come,1 and last of all to have been sanctified with the blood of the Testament. Likewise in Peter, to have escaped from the filthiness of the world: the Apostles themselves show that this is to be understood of the knowledge of the truth, and the fore-going and detestation of errors and vices for a season; and lastly, of the sufficiency of Christs merits, even for the wiping away of their sins also, and the offer thereof made to them by his Word and Sacraments: which they show, when they interpret that lightning and taste to be the knowledge of the truth and righteousness, and call them dogs and swine, not made so again, but returning to their vomit, and wallowing in the mire; and compare them to the earth, drinking in the rain, but bringing forth, in stead of good herbs, thorns and briars: For these things agree not to true faith and conversion.
