I'll only point at those Scriptures that speak out this truth. 1 John 3. 14. Chap. 2. 3, 4. Job 23. 10, 11, 12. And the whole 31 Chapter of Job. Psal. 119. 6. Isa. 38. 2, 3. 2 Cor. 1. 12. All these Scriptures (with many others that 1might be produced) do with open mouth proclaim this Truth. And surely to deny the fruit growing upon the Tree, to be an Evidence that the Tree is alive, is to me as unreasonable, as it is absurd. Certainly, 'tis one thing to judge by our graces, and another thing to trust in our graces, to make a Saviour of our graces. There is a great deal of difference betwixt declaring and deserving: And if this be not granted, it will follow, that the Apostle hath sent us aside to a Covenant of works, when he exhorts us to use all diligence to make our Calling and Election sure, 2 Pet. 1. 5-10.
