mock-off_a and_o hence_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o scripture_n some_o promise_n ever_o annex_v unto_o god_n offer_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n jer._n 3.22_o this_o call_n or_o offer_n have_v three_o special_a qualification_n first_o it_o be_v inward_a as_o well_o as_o outward_a for_o the_o lord_n call_v thousand_o outward_o who_o yet_o never_o come_v because_o they_o want_v a_o inward_a call_n to_o come_v a_o inward_a whisper_n still_o voice_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o have_v hear_v and_o learn_v not_o of_o man_n only_o but_o of_o the_o father_n come_v unto_o i_o john_n 6.45_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o stand_v at_o the_o outward_a door_n only_o and_o call_v to_o open_v but_o the_o lord_n jesus_n come_v in_o he_o come_v near_o unto_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o a_o poor_a sinner_n &_o make_v that_o understand_v hos._n 2.14_o and_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o grace_n glorious_a and_o his_o mercy_n sweet_a unto_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o elect_n look_v say_v the_o lord_n jesus_n how_o i_o have_v leave_v thousand_o thousand_o in_o the_o world_n and_o have_v have_v great_a cause_n so_o to_o have_v leave_v thou_o but_o behold_v i_o be_o come_v unto_o thou_o oh_o come_v thou_o now_o unto_o i_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o particular_a call_n for_o there_o be_v a_o general_a call_n and_o offer_v of_o grace_n to_o every_o one_o now_o though_o this_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o make_v it_o particular_a 16.15_o yet_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o apply_v general_n unto_o particular_n particular_o make_v the_o call_v particular_a that_o the_o soul_n see_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o special_a mean_v i_o single_v out_o i_o in_o special_a to_o believe_v otherwise_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_n will_v not_o be_v much_o move_v with_o the_o call_n of_o god_n so_o long_o as_o they_o think_v the_o lord_n offer_v no_o more_o mercy_n to_o i_o then_o to_o any_o reprobate_n and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n make_v the_o call_v particular_a isaiah_n 43.1_o i_o have_v call_v thou_o by_o name_n john_n 10.5_o he_o call_v all_o his_o sheep_n by_o name_n not_o that_o the_o lord_n call_v any_o by_o their_o christian_a name_n as_o we_o say_v as_o the_o lord_n do_v extraordinary_o call_v samuel_n samuel_n and_o paul_n paul_n but_o the_o meaning_n be_v look_v as_o the_o lord_n from_o before_o all_o world_n be_v write_v down_o their_o name_n in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o love_v they_o in_o special_a so_o in_o vocation_n the_o first_o open_v of_o election_n the_o lord_n make_v his_o offer_n and_o call_v special_a and_o so_o special_a as_o if_o it_o be_v by_o name_n for_o the_o soul_n at_o this_o instant_n feel_v such_o a_o special_a stir_v of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o it_o which_o it_o feel_v now_o and_o never_o feel_v before_o as_o also_o its_o particular_a case_n so_o speak_v unto_o and_o its_o particular_a objection_n so_o answer_v and_o the_o grievousnesse_n of_o its_o sin_n in_o refuse_v grace_n so_o particular_o apply_v as_o if_o god_n the_o only_a searcher_n of_o heart_n only_o speak_v unto_o it_o and_o so_o dare_v not_o but_o think_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o lord_n mean_v i_o 3._o it_o be_v effectual_a as_o well_o as_o inward_a and_o particular_a luk._n 14.23_o compel_v they_o to_o come_v in_o john_n 10.16_o christ_n other_o sheep_n shall_v hear_v christ_n voice_n and_o those_o he_o must_v bring_v home_o for_o every_o inward_a call_n be_v not_o effectual_a there_o come_v a_o man_n in_o without_o his_o wedding_n garment_n mat._n 22.6_o 7_o 8._o whence_o our_o saviour_n say_v many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o choose_v but_o this_o i_o now_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o call_n out_o of_o purpose_n rom._n 8.28_o and_o therefore_o never_o leave_v the_o soul_n until_o it_o have_v real_a possession_n of_o christ_n and_o rest_v there_o this_o call_n fall_v upon_o a_o sinner_n humble_v not_o hard_o heart_v &_o hence_o the_o call_n be_v effectual_a mat._n 9.12_o 13._o 2_o chron._n 30.10_o 11._o it_o be_v such_o a_o call_v as_o be_v in_o creation_n rom._n 4.17_o and_o hence_o the_o soul_n can_v but_o come_v and_o when_o it_o be_v come_v it_o can_v depart_v like_o peter_n lord_n whither_o shall_v we_o go_v and_o therefore_o though_o it_o have_v never_o so_o many_o objection_n in_o come_v to_o christ_n never_o so_o much_o weakness_n or_o heartlesnesse_n to_o close_v with_o christ_n yet_o the_o lord_n bring_v it_o home_o and_o there_o keep_v it_o and_o now_o it_o infinite_o bless_v god_n that_o ever_o the_o lord_n give_v it_o a_o eye_n to_o see_v a_o heart_n to_o come_v and_o seek_v after_o jesus_n christ._n thus_o much_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o call_v now_o follow_v the_o necessity_n of_o it_o which_o appear_v in_o these_o three_o particular_n 1._o no_o man_n shall_v come_v unless_o first_o call_v as_o it_o be_v in_o call_v to_o a_o ordinary_a office_n so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o call_n much_o more_o unto_o special_a grace_n the_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 5.4_o that_o no_o man_n take_v this_o honour_n but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n so_o what_o have_v any_o man_n to_o do_v with_o christ_n to_o make_v himself_o a_o son_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o glory_n thereby_o but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v to_o take_v other_o man_n good_n unless_o call_v thereto_o what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v to_o take_v the_o riches_n of_o grace_n and_o peace_n if_o not_o call_v thereto_o it_o be_v presumption_n to_o take_v christ_n while_o uncalled_a but_o not_o when_o you_o be_v call_v thereunto_o 2._o because_o no_o man_n will_v come_v without_o the_o lord_n call_v mat._n 20.6_o 7._o why_o stand_v you_o here_o all_o the_o day_n idle_a the_o answer_n be_v no_o man_n have_v hire_v or_o call_v we_o thereto_o when_o there_o be_v a_o outward_a call_v only_o yet_o man_n will_v not_o come_v in_o mat._n 23.37_o and_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o effectual_a call_n to_o bring_v man_n home_o isaiah_n 55.5_o and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v see_v many_o let_v there_o be_v a_o legal_a command_n suppose_v to_o sanctify_v a_o sabbath_n or_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n they_o have_v no_o objection_n against_o obedience_n unto_o this_o but_o press_v they_o to_o believe_v show_v they_o god_n call_v for_o it_o they_o have_v more_o fear_n and_o objection_n rise_v against_o this_o then_o there_o be_v hair_n on_o their_o head_n because_o the_o soul_n will_v not_o close_v with_o this_o 3._o because_o no_o man_n can_v come_v unless_o call_v john_n 6.44_o no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o i_o unless_o the_o father_n draw_v he_o and_o how_o do_v the_o father_n draw_v any_o man_n but_o by_o this_o call_n if_o the_o lord_n shall_v not_o come_v and_o speak_v himself_o and_o make_v his_o call_n the_o most_o joyful_a tiding_n and_o the_o sweet_a message_n that_o ever_o come_v to_o it_o it_o will_v say_v i_o have_v no_o heart_n i_o can_v i_o be_o not_o able_a for_o rom._n 11.32_o we_o be_v shut_v up_o under_o unbelief_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n jesus_n luke_n 15.5_o must_v bring_v his_o sheep_n home_o upon_o his_o shoulder_n else_o it_o will_v die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o its_o own_o drooping_n whereas_o when_o the_o lord_n effectual_o speak_v the_o soul_n can_v but_o come_v last_o how_o this_o call_n be_v a_o ground_n of_o faith_n and_o what_o ground_n of_o faith_n for_o answer_v hereunto_o i_o do_v not_o make_v this_o call_v consider_v without_o the_o promise_n the_o ground_n on_o which_o faith_n rest_v for_o that_o be_v god_n free_a grace_n in_o the_o promise_n but_o the_o ground_n by_o which_o it_o rest_v or_o wherefore_o it_o rest_v upon_o the_o promise_n the_o mind_n see_v 1._o the_o freeness_n of_o mercy_n to_o a_o poor_a sinner_n in_o misery_n and_o this_o breed_v some_o hope_v the_o lord_n may_v pity_v it_o 2._o the_o fullness_n and_o plenteous_a riches_n of_o mercy_n and_o this_o give_v very_o great_a encouragement_n to_o the_o soul_n to_o think_v the_o lord_n if_o i_o come_v to_o he_o sure_o will_v not_o deny_v i_o a_o drop_n psal._n 130.7_o 8._o the_o prodigal_n come_v home_n because_o of_o bread_n enough_o in_o his_o father_n house_n though_o he_o be_v not_o certain_a he_o shall_v have_v any_o 3._o the_o preciousness_n and_o sweetness_n of_o mercy_n make_v the_o soul_n long_o vehement_o for_o it_o psal._n 36.6_o 7._o and_o make_v it_o set_v all_o other_o thing_n at_o a_o low_a rate_n to_o enjoy_v it_o but_o when_o unto_o all_o this_o the_o lord_n send_v a_o special_a commandment_n a_o special_a message_n on_o purpose_n and_o call_v it_o to_o come_v in_o and_o accept_v of_o it_o and_o take_v mercy_n as_o its_o own_o and_o that_o for_o no_o
