1. An extrinsic or outward Call, which is God's offer of Grace to sinners, inviting them to come in and accept of Christ and Salvation, Matth. 20.16. Many are called, but few chosen. This outward Call shows Men what they ought to do in order to Salvation, and renders them inexcusable in case of Disobedience.
