grace of the Spirit is assaulted of doubting but this doubting being a fruit of vnbeliefe which is an inbred corruption of the Flesh cannot be a commendable virtue of Faith as the Papists doe teach neyther is it of the nature of Faith which in it selfe is certaine and assured and not doubting neyther is it any way incident vnto Faith but it is a fruit of vnbeliefe which is opposed vnto Faith Rom. 4. 20. And consequently though Faith be assaulted of doubting yet in it owne nature it doth remaine certaine and assured and still lyeth sucking nourishment out of Gods gracious Promises and still retaineth its propertie of certaine perswasion though in the conflict with doubting it doth not exercise it so manifestly and in such measure as before and after the Conflict of temptations And no more is doubting comming vnto the true Beleeuer from the boysterous blasts of Infidelitie being a fruit of the Flesh of the Nature of faith being a fruit of the Spirit then the shaking of a tree comming from a tempest of winde by outward accident is of the nature of the tree Laus Deo A deuout Prayer for all Christians and all times O LORD vvhich hast vouchsafed of thy vnspeakeable goodnesse to make and ordaine me thy creature to liue in this transitorie life giuing me a reasonable Soule by which I know thee my Lord and my God O most blessed Lord I wretched sinner confesse my wicked and abhominable sins I humbly aske of thee mercy and forgiuenes for the same grant mee thy strength to stand sure in faith thy knowledge to worke thy blessed will thy power to resist all errours and wicked imaginations thy wisedome to know the truth giue me thy help I humbly beseech thee that thy holy Spirit may guide me and all the thoughts and desires of my hart for the thoughts of men are miserable and their deedes vncertaine comfort therefore my soule let it walke in thy Lawes and wayes and worke thy will suffer no worldly perswasions to take place or roote in my heart but by thy holy Spirit so direct my wayes and works that they may be acceptable in the sight Suffer not my soule to perish whom thou hast so dearely bought but for thy mercies sake haue mercy vpon mee make me poore in spirit low in heart content with my calling and let my Soule rest in thee let mee loue thee as a Father a Forgiuer a Sauiour and scare thee as a Lord a Iudge a Reuenger O Father put from me my sinne and wickednesse make me to walke in the way of thy Commandements let me reuerently feare thee and stand in awe of thy iudgements Let me loue thee as a Sauiour honour thee as a father reuerence thee as a Lord and feare thee as a Iudge Grant me grace to set thy feare before mee to stand in awe of thee and of thy Iudgements that I doe nothing to prouoke thy heauy displeasure against me that I may walke in thy feare and holy ordinances and imbrance those vertues that shall euidently declare my faithful loue true honour vnsained repentance and humble feare toward thee Haue mercy pittie and compassion vpon mee most miserable sinner for my offences are horrible great and grieuous but I appeale to thy mercies which is aboue thy workes O let me liue with thee eternally and not dye though I haue deserued it make me a vessell of thy grace and mercy that I may praise thy name let not my sins souer me from thee but let me magnifie thy power and mercy O gracious God giue mee true hearty earnest and vnsained Repentance that I may from the very bottome of my heart continually lament my manifold sinnes and transgressions my vnthankfulnesse towards thee for all thy mercifull benefits abundantly bestowed vpon mee Alas that euer I became so wicked and vnkinde a Creature to displease so good a Lord so louing and mercifull a Father O forgiue me for thy most deare mercies sake forgiue mee all my sinnes that euer I haue committed against thee let me neuer more offend thee but alwayes gladly serue thee in righteousnesse and holinesse all the dayes of my life gouerne and guide my heart in thy true faith feare and loue that in all my thoughts words and deedes I may glorifie thy holy Name to whom be all glory praise power and dominion now and euermore Amen FINIS Caluin Instit. lib. 1. cap. 1.
