elect But ●an besides that hee is so ●eake that it is not possible ●●r him to sustain the weight ●f Gods wrath doth also so ●uch fl●tter himselfe in that ●is most miserable blindnes 〈◊〉 he cannot perceiue it 1 ●ecause he is wholly in bon●age to sinne 2 so that the lavv of GOD is to him as death 3 so farre is he vnable of himselfe to recouer his libertie or to satisfie the law of God in the very least ●ote God therefore the most mercifull father of the elect moderating in such sort his iustice with his infinite mercie appointed his onely son who was the very same substance and God eternal with him that at the time determined he shold by the power of the holy 4 ghost bee made very man 5 to the end that both the natures beeing ioyned in Iesus Christ alone 6 first all the corruption of man shold be fully healed in one man 7 who should also accomplish all iustice 8 and moreouer should bee able enough to sustaine the iudgment of God and be a priest sufficient worthy of himselfe to appease the wrath of God his father in dying as a iust and innocent for them that were vniust and sinners couering our disobedience and purging all our sinnes which were laid vpon him 9. And finally with one onely offering and sacrifice of himselfe should sanctifie all the elect mortifying burying sinne in them by the partaking of his death buriall and quickning them into newnes of life by his resurrection 10 so that they should finde more in him then they had lost in Adam 11. And to the intent this remedie should not be found and ordayned in vaine the lord God determined to giue this his sonne with all things appertaining to saluation 12 to them whom hee had determined in himself to chuse and on the other side to giue them vnto his Sonne that they beeing in him and hee in them 13 might bee consummate and made perfit in one by these degrees that follow after according as it pleased him to bring forth euery one of his elect into this world For first when it pleaseth him to disclose that secret which he had purposed from before all beginning 14 at such time as men least looke for it 15 as men are blinded and yet thinke they see most cleare 16 when as in verie deed death dānation hangeth ouer their head 17 hee commeth sodenly setteth before their eyes the great danger wherin they are and that they might be touched more sharply and liuely hee addeth to the witnes of their owne conscience beeing as it were asleepe and dead the preaching of his law 18 and the examples of his indgements to strike thē with the horror of their sins not that they should remaine in that feare but rather that be holding the great danger thereof should flie to that onely Mediator Iesus Christ 19 in whō after the sharpe preaching of the law hee setteth forth the sweet grace of the Gospell but yet with this condition that they belieue in him 20 vvho onelie can deliuer them from cōdemnation 21 and giue them right and title to the heauenly inheritance 22 Yet all these things were but vaine if he should onelie set before mens eyes these secrets by the externall preaching of his word written published in the Church of God which notwithstanding is the ordinarie means wherby Iesus Christ is communicated vnto vs 23 therfore as touching his elect 24 vnto the external preaching of his word he ioyneth the inward working of his holy Spirit the which doth not restore as the Papists imagine the remnants or residue of free will for what power soeuer of free will remaineth in vs serueth to no other vse but willingly to sinne 25 to flee from God 26 to hate him 27 and so not to heare him 28 nor to belieue in him 29 neither yet to acknowledge his gifts 30 no not so much as to thinke a good thought 31 and finally to be children of wrath and malediction but contrariwise changeth their hard harts of stone into soft harts of flesh 32 draweth them 33 teacheth them 34 lighteneth their eyes 35 and openeth their sense 36 their heart their eares and vnderstanding first to make them to knowe as wee haue said before their owne miserie and next to plant in them the gift of faith whereby they may performe that condition which is ioyned to the preaching of the Gospell And that standeth in two points the one whereby wee knowe Christ in general in belieuing the storie of Christ and the Prophecies which are writ of him 37 the which part of faith as vvee shall declare in due place is sometimes giuen to the reprobate The other which is proper and onely belongeth to the elect consisteth in applying Christ who is vniuersally and indifferentlie preached to all men to our selues as ours and that euery man make himselfe sure of his election which hath been hid before all time in Gods secret 38 and afterwards reuealed vnto vs partly by the inward testimonie of our conscience through the holy Ghost ioyned to the externall preaching of Gods word 39 and partly also by the vertue and power of the same spirit who deliuering the elect from the seruitude of sin 40 perswadeth and conducteth them to will and vvorke the things which please God These then be the degrees whereby it pleaseth God to create and forme by his especiall grace that precious and peculiar gift of faith in his elect to the intent that they may imbrace their saluation in Iesus Christ But because this faith in vs is yet weake onely begun to the end that we may not onely perseuere in it but also profit vvhich thing is most necessary for al men to do first according to the time that our adoption is reuealed vnto vs this faith is sealed in our harts by the sacrament of Baptisme and after euery day more more is confirmed and sealed in vs by the Sacrament of the Lords Supper of the which two Sacraments the principall end is that they be sure and effectuall signes and pledges of the communion of the faithfull vvith Christ 41 who is their wisedome iustice sanctification and redemption 42. For this occasion it is so oftentimes mentioned with Saint Paul that wee beeing iustified by faith haue peace with God 43 for whosoeuer hath obtained the gift of true faith hath also by the same grace and liberalitie of God obtained the gift of perseuerance 44. So that in all maner of temptations and afflictions hee doubteth not to call vpon God vvith sure confidence to obtaine his request as farre as it is expedient for him knowing that hee is of the number of Gods children who cannot faile him 45. Moreouer he neuer swarueth so from the right way but at length by the benefit of Gods grace he returneth againe for although faith sometime seeme in the elect
