I. God hath chosen you to glory, he hath elected you to salvation before the world was, Act. 13. 48. As many as were ordained to eternal life, believed. Hence it follows, that all believers were ordained to eternal life; and I Thes. 2. 13. God hath chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of ⟨p. 280⟩the spirit, and belief of the truth. All true believers are elected persons, and Gods decree of election cannot be frustrated, because God is unchangeable; because God changeth not, therefore you are not consumed; because God changeth not, therefore you shall be saved.

2. God hath promised this happiness to you, I John 2. 24. This is the promise which he hath promised, even eternal life. And Tit. 1. 2. In hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie hath promised. If God hath promised this happiness, and your faith doth give you interest in the promises, and God be faithful to fulfil to them, it being impossible for God to lie; then as certainly as God is true, you that are believers shall obtain.
