Whether a Christian must of necessity have his first assurance from an absolute, and not from a Conditionall Promise?
Answer.
A Christian mans first assurance doth arise from the Spirit of God, applying Gods free grace in an absolute Promise. Or if in a Conditional Promise, it is not to Works, but to Faith, and to faith, not as as it is a Work, but as it revealeth the free grace of God offered, and applied in Christ Jesus.
