That no man can have a good conscience till a worke of grace bee vouchsafed him from God And this appeares to bee a good conscience 1. When its accusing is according to the Word 2. When its excusing is according to the Spirit Qu. What is the fourth use in respect of the memory An. That there is as well an art as an use of memory many complaine that their memory is naught now here is a helpe the Lord gives remedy for this a present remedy Qu. What is that An.

What purpose had God toward the creature in the fall An. No purpose of the finall destruction of the creature but the illustration of his owne justice and mercy Rom. 3.26 and Rom. 9.22 23. Qu. How may the mercy of God to his elect be herein considered An. Thus If hee bee compared to the Angels which fell they had no meanes of recovery out their fallen estate Iude 6. 2. If with the reprobate they had meanes indeed but they had no grace to use them Rom. 11.7 Qu. Is the estate of man better in the estate of regeneration or of innocency An.

What is the first part of the mercy of God to man in his recovered estate An. Mans happinesse which is 1. Partly in this life 2. Partly or rather perfectly in the life to come Qu. Wherein doth this happinesse of man consist An. In the vision of God so Rom. 1.20 So the naturall man sees God in the creature Again Heb. 1.1 2. Spirituall men never behold him but in the face of Christ which vision is operative 2 Cor. 3.18 2. In peace pacification and accesse Rom. 5.1 for hee that sees a King a King I say as his enemy and one ready to fall upon him with an act of anger and justice had rather never see him 3.
