Holiness is not properly a condition of salvation: ⟨p. 100⟩such promises as make mention of holiness don't make Gods covenant with believers conditional: holiness is no such condition as renders the salvation of believers questionable: such promises as mention it only show the order and way wherein God will bestow salvation to believers: holiness is a promised condition: God i• engaged to give holiness to Believers, 1 Thess. 5.22, 23 holiness cannot be properly a condition because before his perseverance in holiness he is justified, that i• declared an heir of glory, Rom. 5.1. therefore the condition is already fulfilled: God offers life to sinners upon the condition of believing: and the way mentioning of that condition is exclusive of any other.
