The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perilous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begetting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection.

Calvin doth not obscurely insinuate, Sanctification sometimes to be used more generally, oft-times more specially, and in reference to the more general use thereof he speaks thus; God sanctifieth us, by effectual calling of us. | Quod si istae sunt partes vel effectus Sanctificationis,1 aliter hic sanctificatio capitur quam saepe apud Paulum, hoc est magis generaliter.
