1Justifying faith is only proper to the elect, and that to all of them: for it is given to the elect alone, and to all the elect, even to infants, as concerning some inclination: No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him. Ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep. It is given to you to know the secrets of heaven: but unto them it is not given. And they believed as many as were ordained to everlasting life. Whom he predestinated, them also he called: and whom he called▪ them also he justified. Faith is the gift of God. All have not hearkened to the Gospel. For all men have not faith. Temporary faith, and the faith of miracles is given to those who are members of the visible Church only, that is, hypocrites. Have we not by thy Name done many great works? Cast out devils? But now nevertheless this faith of miracles ceaseth, which flourished in the primitive Church; for that now the doctrine is sufficiently confirmed.
