to loue for euer And so Gods loue is not only euerlasting but perpetuall 19 This loue of God is the fountaine of our saluation because from thence it commeth to passe that he hath praedestinate vs to life aeternall in Christ that he sent his sonne into the world that he hath called vs effectually by the preaching of the Gospel that hee forgiueth our daily sinnes that finally hee will bestow vppon vs fully life aeternall 20 The loue of God to-vs-ward is called by the Prophet Zeale for that it is as the loue of the husband towards his wife that is most feruent therefore intermixed with carefulnes and dolour with carefulnes least any aduersity should happen to the thing beloued and dolour if it happen 21 Zeale also wherewith God also is zealous that is feruently loueth his owne glory is the cause efficient of our saluation For he could not indure that ouer and besides the Reprobate the Elect likewise should be held perpetually as Captiues in the handes of Sathan for that this did crosse Gods glory Therefore the zeale of the Lord to wit wherby he hath and doth loue both vs and his owne glory so ardently hath effected this that is was the cause of our saluation by Christ both obtained and preserued 22 Saluation and life aeternall can fall to none but to such as are elect to saluation and life aeternall Mat. 10. 25. Rom. 8. Therefore none can be ascertained of his saluation vnlesse hee be made certaine of his aeternall and immutable election to life aeternall 23 Euery one is bounden certainly to beleeue that he was elected vnto saluation and life eternall in Christ by God before the world was made which is at large demonstrated in cap 7. of this Treatise 24 Now that euery one may perswade himselfe hereof there bee certaine rules deliuered partly a priori as they terme it or from the causes partly a posteriori deduced or from the effects And this is also handled in the 7. cap. of his Tractate 25 Chri●t according to the purpose both of his fathers and his owne will neither praied nor suffered but for the Elect onely which is prooued fully by many places of Scripture 26 None can bee endued with true faith in Christ vnlesse he bee elect in Christ to aeternall saluation as is by many places of Scripture confirmed cap. 7. Whosoeuer therfore doth feele himselfe enritched with true faith in Christ let him conclude that he is in Christ ordained to life eternall 27 Whosoeuer is endued with a true and liuely faith may perceiue and doth perceiue that he truly beleeueth in Christ therfore a beleeuer may be made certaine of his Election to life aeternall 28 The doctrine of Praedestination As to the Elect nothing is more soueraigne so to the Reprobate by their owne default nothing is more pernicious For although they take offence at it yet for the others sake it is to be preached 29 Out of the rich treasures of Christ so much each one hath and possesseth how much he receiueth and draweth out by faith Whosoeuer therefore can truly beleeue that he hath been elected in Christ from aeternity vnto life euerlasting hee is elected The Summe of the fourth Chapter of the Tractate touching Christ our Aduocate contained in foure propositions CHrist is the Aduocate of the Elect onely that of all which Io 17.
