Quest. V.
Whether the testimony or Seal of the Spirit be so clear, as to witness immediately by it self, without respect of any work of Christ in a Manor ⟨p. 6⟩so constant, that it being once obtained, a man doth never after question his Estate?
Whether the testimony or Seal of the Spirit be so clear, as to witnesse immediately by it self, without respect of any work of Christ in a Manor ⟨p. 6⟩so constant, that it being once obtained, a man doth never after question his Estate?
Answer.
The Testimony of the Spirit is so clear, as that it may witness immediately, though not without some work of Christ in a man, yet without respect unto the Work: Nevertheless it is not so constant or permanent (at least not in all Believers) but that a man after he hath received it, may come in time of Temptation to question his Estate, though not so frequently nor so desperately as before.
