1. That Gods Elect do many times long despise the offers of Christ that are made to them •• the Gospel. God will have his own to know, that their Conversion, as well as their Salvation, is of Grace, and that they have a nature in them as full of obstinacy and enmity as others: he therefore leaves them for a season, to resist his Spirit, and to show the desperate malignity that is in them; and they neglect the things of their peace, withstand the offers of a Saviour, and quench the motions of the Spirit in them, that accompany the Calls of the Gospel. This Ephraim confesseth of himself, Jer. 31. 18. Thou ⟨p. 132⟩hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke. Yea, sometimes violently to oppose and persecute his Church: Such an one was Paul, when a Pharisee, Phil. 3. 6. Touching zeal, persecuting the Church.
