There are 7. things wherein this assurance hath been employed. 1.1 There is a full assurance of the things done by Christ, mentioned Luk. 1.1. 2. There is a full assurance required in the knowledge of our liberty in things indifferent. 3. There is a full assurance requisite unto the persuasion of the truth of their ministries to whom we subject our souls, as the original word imports, 2 Tim. 4.5.17. 4. We must be fully assured of the doctrine of the Religion that we profess. 5. There is a full assurance of the hope of a better lifen. 6. There is a full assurance sometimes in special and particular persons, as that to Abraham about his son, Rom. 4.21. Lastly, there is a full assurance of faith in Gods favour, upon the warrant of Gods word and spirit. This is chiefly to be laboured for.
