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.

Vocation is the first act of Election, which springeth up or is exercised in man himself, whence also it is that Vocation and Election are sometimes taken in the Scripture in the same sense altogether. Ames. | Vocatio est primus actus Electionis qui in homine ipso exoritur,1 vel exercetur; unde etiam est quod Vocatio & Electio aliquando in Scripturis eodē planè sensu accipiuntur. 1 Cor. 1.26, 27, 28.

Mr Rutherford. | Vocatio efficax est prima misericordia. Before Vocation all are said not to have obtained mercy.
