Influences of the life of grace

This Subject of Divine Influences (Christian Reader) is most obvious to daily practise, but a path untrodden (I conceive) to the travels of the pens of the godly and experienced Divines who have written practical Divinity, That is called the pillar of predetermination, which is indeed new and wild Divinity to some; But it's no other way new, then the new trust which the Lord hath put upon the Mediator Christ, whose it is to lose none, to bring many Children to Glory, to cast none away who comes to him, for grant an efficacious and strong, but sweet and none compelling, yet a mighty drawing and love-forcing violence and dominion to Christ Jesus over the proudest piece of the six days works of creation, to wit, over mans free-will, so as insuperably, and without a miss, he must drive his flock to their eternal green pastors, and overdrive none. And modest spirits, and such as are in love with truth, need not contend; for me, I shall desire none to be farther in love with the Lords strong flection, bowing and turning of mans will whithersoever God will, then we may save the holy and strong dominion of the sovereign Lord, that he may have a more powerful mastery over the entrance of the free and contingent acts of the will of men and Angels then the creatures themselves have. And reason would say that sovereign and independent former of all, of whom, through whom, for whom are all things, Rom. 11. should be above the clay. Hence these introductory considerations by way of preface.
