Free-grace, maintained & improved. Or, The general offer of the Gospel, managed with considerations of the great things done by special grace, in the election and redemption and vocation of those who embrace that offer. And the illustrious doctrines of divine predestination and humane impotency, rescued from the abuses, which they too frequently meet withal; and rendered (as they are) highly useful to the designs of practical piety. : In two brief discourses; published at the desire of some, who have been greatly apprehensive of growing occasions for such treatises.

We read, Act. 13.48. As many as were ordained unto Eternal Life believed. Examine then; Do I Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Is my whole Reliance upon Him, as my Sacrifice and my Advocate, for my Peace with God? Am I heartily Resigned unto Him, for Him to Guide me by Counsel, and bring me to Glory? If it be so, then be of Good Comfort; Thou art most certainly Ordained unto Eternal Life.

We read, Eph. 1.4. He has Chosen us, that we should be Holy. Examine then; Am I Holy? Do I follow nothing so much as Holiness? Do I Lament nothing so much as my want of Holiness? Do I Sincerely Dedicate my self unto God? Would I fain be entirely Possessed by God, and have my All employed in Serving of Him? If it be so, then be of Good Comfort; God who knows who are His, has Chosen thee for one of His.
