First; Have ye forgotten the Exhortation that speaks unto you? 2 Pet. I. 10. Give Diligence to make your Calling & Election sure. Were you Sure, that you are Effectually Called, you may be Sure, that you are Eternally Chosen, of GOD! You have the Call of the Gospel brought unto you. From the time that you give a Proper & an Hearty Answer to the Call, you may be Sure of This; Whom He has Predestinated, them He Called. You are among the Elect of GOD, of whom you are sure, It is not Possible they should be Destroyed. Hearken, Hearken then, unto the Call of your SAVIOUR. The Call of the Gospel is, Abhor that which is Evil, & thy self also for Doing it, and for Departing from the Living GOD. Most Heartily Answer, Lord, I Abhor it. The Call of the Gospel is, Embrace the Great Salvation which a JESUS brings unto you; & be glad of the Wisdom, & Righteousness, & Holiness, & Redemption, which He has to bestow upon you. Most Heartily Answer, Lord, I Embrace it. The Call of the Gospel is, Resolve on a Return to GOD, and a Godly & Sober and Righteous Life before Him. Answer most Heartily, Lord, I Resolve it. My Friend, If this be thy Answer, & if thy Heart be in the Answer, thou art then among them that are partakers of the Heavenly Calling: And thou shalt not miss of the Heaven which thou art Called unto Dost thou say, I do give the Answer, ⟨p. 41⟩but I don't know whether my heart be in it? Then Repeat the Answer; carry on the Repetition of it, until thou dost know, that thy Heart is in it. This Answer of a Good Conscience, will Baptise thee, tor a Deliverance from the Wrath to come.
