Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified. The same ⟨p. 27⟩Persons that are predestinated, are called; and the very same that are called, are justified; and the very same who are justified, are, or shall be glorified: — Therefore the Hope that Believers have, is both sure and steadfast. Thirdly; Christ's Death is a sure Ground of Hope. Who is be that condemneth? It is Christ that died. I lay down my Life for my Sheep. Christ in an especial manner laid down his Life for those which the Father gave to him, with an absolute Purpose and Intention eternally to save them; and he shall not lose his Purchase, nor miss of the Merit of his most precious Blood: Therefore the Saints Hope is both sure and steadfast. Fourthly; Christ's Resurrection is a sure Ground of Hope. Christ rose again from the Dead, to justify all those who truly believe in him. Who shall condemn? 1It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again. — Who was delivered for our Offences, and was raised again for out Justification. Thus Christ, by his Resurrection, doth actually justify all that believe in him; therefore the Saints Hope is both sure and steadfast. Fifthly; The Intercession of Christ is a sure Ground of Hope.2 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh Intercession for us. 3Seeing he ever liveth to make Intercession for us. Father, I will that those also whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am, &c. I have prayed for thee, that thy Faith fail not. If any Man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. Christ prays the Father, that all his Children may be kept from falling, that their Faith fail not, that they may have their Sins pardoned, and may be where he is, &c. And he is always heard and answered by the Father: I know thou hearest me always. Therefore the Saints Hope is both sure and steadfast. Sixthly; The Covenant of Grace is a sure Ground of Hope.4 Although my House be not so with God, yet he hath made with me an everlasting Covenant, ordered in all things, and sure; for this is all my Salvation, and Desire, tho he make it not to grow. For the Mountains shall depart, and the Hills be removed;
