object_v then_o how_o be_v it_o that_o those_o that_o be_v effectual_o call_v be_v very_o doubtful_a and_o have_v many_o question_n and_o be_v uncertain_a whether_o they_o be_v call_v or_o no_o if_o it_o be_v so_o how_o come_v these_o doubt_n and_o trouble_n and_o perplexity_n that_o be_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o good_a people_n that_o be_v effectual_o call_v of_o god_n and_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o they_o be_v effectual_o call_v ans_fw-fr i_o answer_v first_o we_o must_v know_v that_o though_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o man_n calling_n may_v be_v have_v yet_o it_o be_v have_v by_o degree_n it_o be_v a_o gradual_a knowledge_n a_o man_n can_v know_v it_o all_o at_o first_o dash_n god_n do_v not_o manifest_v his_o favour_n and_o love_n all_o at_o once_o to_o his_o people_n and_o when_o he_o give_v it_o he_o do_v not_o present_o tell_v a_o man_n what_o he_o give_v he_o though_o there_o be_v way_n for_o he_o to_o know_v it_o and_o find_v it_o out_o yet_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o open_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n all_o at_o the_o first_o nay_o he_o do_v not_o so_o to_o his_o own_o son_n christ_n jesus_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o humanity_n as_o he_o grow_v in_o stature_n and_o wisdom_n so_o he_o grow_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n luk._n 2.52_o the_o divine_a nature_n manifest_v itself_o more_o and_o more_o to_o his_o humane_a so_o god_n do_v manifest_v his_o favour_n and_o love_n and_o open_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n more_o and_o more_o according_a as_o they_o grow_v in_o goodness_n they_o grow_v in_o this_o knowledge_n as_o they_o be_v more_o and_o more_o pure_a in_o heart_n the_o more_o do_v they_o see_v god_n and_o god_n goodness_n to_o they_o and_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o they_o this_o knowledge_n though_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v by_o degree_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v it_o not_o all_o in_o one_o degree_n some_o have_v it_o in_o a_o high_a degree_n and_o some_o in_o a_o low_a but_o every_o man_n have_v some_o of_o this_o knowledge_n that_o he_o be_v call_v of_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v effectual_o call_v and_o be_v whole_o and_o total_o ignorant_a of_o it_o second_o as_o this_o knowledge_n be_v gradual_a so_o it_o be_v experimental_a experimental_a a_o man_n know_v that_o he_o be_v call_v by_o experience_n chief_o and_o main_o as_o when_o a_o man_n know_v by_o experience_n that_o he_o come_v to_o god_n and_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n and_o that_o he_o do_v abstract_a himself_o from_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a way_n and_o practice_n and_o lay_v aside_o more_o and_o more_o the_o carnal_a way_n of_o man_n and_o do_v approach_n near_o and_o near_o unto_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n if_o a_o man_n have_v experience_n of_o these_o thing_n he_o come_v now_o to_o say_v god_n have_v effectual_o call_v i_o and_o have_v be_v please_v to_o do_v i_o good_a when_o he_o find_v this_o by_o experience_n that_o these_o thing_n be_v wrought_v in_o he_o then_o he_o can_v conclude_v this_o at_o the_o first_o he_o be_v like_o a_o man_n in_o a_o vision_n he_o can_v hardly_o believe_v that_o god_n have_v effectual_o call_v he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o peter_n when_o the_o angel_n deliver_v he_o out_o of_o prison_n he_o be_v as_o one_o that_o have_v see_v a_o vision_n he_o have_v not_o think_v it_o have_v be_v a_o real_a thing_n he_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o act._n 12.11_o but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o himself_o now_o say_v he_o i_o know_v of_o a_o surety_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v his_o angel_n and_o deliver_v i_o out_o of_o prison_n at_o first_o he_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o but_o afterward_o when_o he_o see_v he_o be_v in_o the_o street_n and_o that_o the_o iron_n gate_n open_v to_o he_o of_o its_o own_o accord_n now_o say_v he_o i_o know_v of_o a_o surety_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v his_o angel_n and_o deliver_v i_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n at_o first_o when_o they_o hear_v something_o from_o the_o father_n they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o make_v of_o this_o call_n at_o the_o first_o but_o afterward_o when_o they_o come_v to_o see_v this_o lust_n and_o that_o lust_n fall_v off_o and_o these_o and_o these_o heavenly_a work_n in_o their_o soul_n they_o now_o know_v of_o a_o surety_n that_o god_n have_v send_v his_o spirit_n into_o their_o soul_n and_o deliver_v they_o from_o sin_n and_o satan_n and_o hell_n and_o damnation_n etc._n etc._n at_o first_o they_o be_v like_o dreamer_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o say_v whether_o they_o be_v call_v or_o no_o as_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n when_o they_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o captivity_n they_o can_v hardly_o believe_v it_o at_o first_o psal_n 126.1_o when_o the_o lord_n turn_v away_o the_o captivity_n of_o zion_n we_o be_v as_o those_o that_o dream_v we_o can_v hardly_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o god_n have_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o captivity_n with_o such_o a_o mercy_n so_o great_a a_o favour_n so_o unlikely_a so_o improbable_a it_o can_v never_o enter_v into_o their_o heart_n almost_o we_o be_v like_o those_o that_o dream_v but_o when_o they_o see_v they_o be_v in_o jerusalem_n and_o be_v help_v and_o assisted_z and_o hear_v the_o gentile_n talk_v of_o it_o and_o all_o the_o people_n run_v up_o and_o down_o when_o they_o see_v it_o be_v so_o and_o have_v experience_n of_o it_o than_o they_o see_v god_n have_v do_v it_o indeed_o and_o do_v believe_v it_o so_o when_o a_o man_n be_v first_o effectual_o call_v to_o come_v out_o of_o his_o sin_n the_o lord_n knock_v off_o his_o bolt_n and_o pluck_v he_o out_o of_o the_o jail_n of_o hell_n and_o set_v he_o as_o it_o be_v in_o jerusalem_n he_o be_v at_o first_o as_o a_o man_n that_o dream_n he_o can_v hardly_o believe_v it_o be_v so_o as_o it_o be_v with_o david_n when_o god_n call_v he_o to_o be_v king_n he_o can_v hardly_o believe_v it_o it_o can_v hardly_o enter_v into_o his_o heart_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v king_n over_o israel_n especial_o be_v daily_a persecuteed_n by_o saul_n and_o calamity_n heap_v up_o themselves_o against_o he_o he_o can_v not_o conclude_v it_o but_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v he_o in_o his_o kingdom_n and_o give_v he_o victory_n over_o his_o enemy_n now_o say_v he_o i_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n save_v his_o anointed_n now_o he_o can_v speak_v it_o and_o find_v it_o by_o experience_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v he_o his_o anointed_n and_o save_v and_o deliver_v he_o from_o all_o his_o enemy_n before_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o deny_v it_o and_o say_v samuel_n be_v a_o liar_n he_o have_v anoint_v he_o to_o be_v king_n but_o i_o say_v in_o my_o haste_n all_o man_n be_v

gradual_a and_o experimental_a so_o likewise_o it_o be_v very_o spiritual_a spiritual_a it_o be_v a_o marvellous_a spiritual_a work_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n though_o it_o be_v something_o insensible_a indeed_o there_o be_v thing_n in_o it_o which_o be_v very_o sensible_a and_o conspicuous_a as_o may_v be_v a_o reprobate_n may_v be_v gall_v at_o a_o sermon_n he_o may_v have_v his_o

no_o wonder_n that_o it_o be_v insencible_a sometime_o and_o many_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n fear_v they_o have_v it_o not_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n and_o a_o man_n not_o know_v it_o and_o yet_o it_o may_v seem_v strange_a that_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o blind_a shall_v be_v open_v and_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o lame_a shall_v walk_v and_o the_o

12.29_o it_o be_v true_a notwithstanding_o all_o his_o strength_n he_o can_v force_v we_o to_o sin_n he_o can_v but_o say_v as_o he_o do_v to_o christ_n cast_v thyself_o down_o he_o can_v but_o say_v
