CHAP. VI▪
The seventh Argument from the Spirits assuring Men of the truth of the Gospel: The eighth Argument from Gods bestowing the beginnings o• Salvation on Believers, here in this World.
Argument 7.
That Righteousness which the Spirit of God convinces and assures men, that they may safely appear before God in; that they may safely appear in: but the Spirit of God does convince and assure men that they may safely appear before God in the righteousness of Christ: that must needs be true which the spirit convinces men to be true: Satan labours to shake mens belief of this, and raises doubts and questions in the heart about it, and from thence we may argue probably that it is true; but the spirit of God does persuade and convince men of the truth of it, and establishes the heart in it, and from thence may infallibly argue the truth of it.
