his_o name_n etc._n etc._n though_o you_o may_v be_v ignorant_a about_o circumstantial_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o in_o fundamental_o your_o ignorance_n may_v be_v consistent_a with_o effectual_a call_n but_o now_o three_o if_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v satisfy_v in_o these_o two_o point_n and_o think_v happy_o i_o may_v have_v the_o first_o concomitant_a to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o so_o evidence_n my_o effectual_a call_n and_o then_o happy_o the_o second_o may_v not_o be_v want_v in_o i_o that_o i_o do_v not_o lie_v under_o the_o state_n of_o a_o wilful_a sottish_a &_o fundamental_a ignorance_n but_o alas_o say_v he_o i_o want_v a_o three_o concomitant_a that_o accompany_v effectual_a call_n and_o that_o be_v i_o find_v in_o the_o word_n that_o they_o that_o be_v effectual_o call_v they_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o obediential_a frame_n of_o heart_n to_o all_o the_o way_n of_o god_n that_o whatever_o god_n command_v they_o to_o do_v their_o heart_n can_v ready_o obey_v and_o this_o i_o find_v rom._n 1.5_o 6._o god_n have_v call_v they_o by_o his_o grace_n unto_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n now_o alas_o say_v a_o poor_a soul_n i_o find_v a_o defect_n in_o this_o concomitant_a likewise_o i_o can_v discern_v that_o i_o be_o call_v to_o a_o obedience_n flow_v from_o faith_n as_o its_o principle_n i_o can_v find_v this_o frame_n of_o heart_n to_o be_v in_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o doubt_v of_o my_o effectual_a call_v this_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o take_v off_o likewise_o first_o when_o i_o say_v that_o obedience_n be_v a_o concomitant_a that_o will_v accompany_v one_o effectual_o call_v i_o do_v not_o say_v nor_o intend_v it_o of_o obedience_n in_o the_o act_n of_o it_o but_o of_o a_o obediential_a frame_n of_o spirit_n in_o the_o purpose_n of_o it_o many_o man_n may_v be_v effectual_o call_v animi_fw-la in_o praeparatione_fw-la animi_fw-la when_o they_o may_v not_o always_o live_v in_o the_o act_n of_o obedience_n to_o christ_n but_o every_o man_n effectual_o call_v have_v a_o obedient_a frame_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v he_o have_v purpose_n &_o intention_n and_o resolution_n to_o obey_v god_n though_o he_o can_v act_v what_o he_o will_v do_v he_o have_v obedience_n in_o the_o habit_n and_o obedience_n in_o his_o purpose_n and_o resolution_n always_o attend_v he_o second_o you_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o strong_a and_o able_a christian_n who_o have_v do_v most_o for_o god_n have_v sometime_o be_v very_o defective_a in_o the_o act_n of_o obedience_n that_o they_o can_v not_o do_v what_o they_o will_v do_v for_o god_n and_o therefore_o paul_n complain_v rom._n 7._o the_o good_a that_o we_o will_v do_v we_o can_v do_v paul_n himself_o that_o be_v a_o pillar_n in_o god_n house_n yet_o he_o tell_v you_o he_o can_v not_o go_v out_o in_o those_o act_n of_o obedience_n which_o in_o his_o heart_n he_o will_v do_v &_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v willing_o do_v more_o than_o you_o do_v god_n accept_v of_o the_o little_a you_o do_v three_o though_o you_o can_v put_v forth_o many_o act_n of_o obedience_n to_o god_n where_o there_o be_v readiness_n of_o mind_n and_o heart_n god_n accept_v the_o purpose_n of_o the_o mind_n for_o the_o action_n itself_o 2_o cor._n 8.12_o where_o there_o be_v a_o willing_a mind_n it_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n as_o if_o the_o deed_n be_v do_v and_o thus_o much_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o second_o case_n of_o conscience_n why_o man_n effectual_o call_v do_v so_o much_o doubt_n of_o their_o own_o call_n doubt_n 3_o three_o see_v christian_n must_v put_v forth_o diligence_n in_o make_v their_o call_n sure_a therefore_o now_o whereabouts_o must_v this_o diligence_n of_o we_o be_v conversant_a or_o into_o what_o channel_n must_v our_o diligence_n run_v that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o our_o effectual_a call_n this_o be_v a_o very_a material_a question_n and_o in_o resolve_v of_o it_o i_o shall_v answer_v it_o in_o these_o two_o general_n first_o if_o you_o will_v get_v assurance_n of_o your_o effectual_a call_n you_o must_v put_v forth_o diligence_n to_o remove_v those_o thing_n that_o will_v hinder_v you_o in_o make_v sure_a your_o call_n and_o second_o use_v diligence_n to_o set_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o duty_n that_o may_v further_o you_o in_o make_v this_o sure_a that_o you_o be_v effectual_o call_v first_o you_o must_v remove_v those_o thing_n which_o do_v much_o hinder_v you_o from_o be_v assure_v and_o those_o hindrance_n that_o be_v to_o be_v remove_v i_o shall_v comprise_v under_o six_o head_n as_o first_o you_o must_v use_v diligence_n to_o remove_v melancholy_a from_o your_o thought_n this_o be_v a_o natural_a hindrance_n of_o assurance_n melancholy_n be_v a_o temper_n in_o man_n arise_v from_o a_o black_a blood_n run_v about_o the_o body_n that_o do_v natural_o occasion_n distrust_n and_o fear_n in_o man_n mind_n this_o temper_n be_v in_o the_o body_n do_v work_n much_o upon_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o soul_n now_o if_o your_o temper_n be_v melancholy_a and_o so_o dispose_v you_o to_o distrust_n and_o fear_n this_o will_v be_v a_o great_a stop_n to_o your_o have_v of_o the_o joy_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o your_o heart_n in_o assurance_n of_o his_o love_n it_o be_v a_o note_n perkins_n have_v upon_o nabuchadnezzar_n when_o he_o be_v grass_n like_o a_o beast_n he_o write_v upon_o that_o place_n think_v that_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v in_o a_o deep_a melancholy_n and_o that_o do_v so_o possess_v he_o that_o he_o can_v not_o tell_v whether_o he_o be_v a_o man_n or_o a_o beast_n though_o say_v he_o he_o do_v not_o eat_v grass_n but_o his_o deep_a perplexity_n seize_v upon_o he_o do_v make_v he_o think_v that_o he_o be_v from_o a_o man_n turn_v into_o a_o beast_n belove_a melancholy_a in_o a_o christian_a it_o will_v make_v he_o think_v himself_o a_o hypocrite_n when_o he_o be_v a_o saint_n and_o therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o a_o melancholy_a lumpish_a and_o sad_a temper_n it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a hindrance_n to_o this_o grace_n of_o assurance_n this_o i_o lay_v down_o only_o as_o a_o natural_a remedy_n second_o a_o mind_n fill_v with_o worldly_a care_n and_o run_v into_o encumber_v employment_n in_o the_o world_n this_o be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n of_o assurance_n the_o care_n of_o this_o life_n mat._n 13.15_o be_v compare_v to_o thorn_n now_o thorn_n they_o choke_v the_o seed_n by_o draw_v the_o juice_n that_o be_v in_o the_o seed_n to_o themselves_o and_o so_o the_o corn_n do_v not_o grow_v where_o thorn_n spring_v the_o care_n of_o this_o life_n they_o be_v like_o thorn_n in_o this_o they_o be_v of_o a_o attractive_a power_n to_o suck_v and_o draw_v the_o juice_n of_o your_o spirit_n and_o comfort_n to_o themselves_o so_o that_o you_o can_v have_v the_o juice_n of_o your_o spirit_n in_o gather_v your_o evidence_n for_o heaven_n the_o more_o encumber_v you_o be_v in_o the_o world_n the_o less_o clear_a you_o will_v be_v touch_v the_o evidence_n of_o your_o everlasting_a condition_n the_o care_n of_o this_o life_n they_o pierce_v the_o soul_n through_o with_o many_o sorrow_n now_o when_o a_o man_n be_v pierce_v with_o many_o sorrow_n he_o be_v in_o a_o very_a unfit_a temper_n to_o be_v raise_v up_o in_o spiritual_a joy_n the_o more_o you_o encumber_v yourselves_o in_o the_o employment_n of_o this_o world_n the_o less_o you_o will_v be_v in_o the_o comfort_n of_o heaven_n i_o remember_v it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o a_o pope_n when_o he_o lie_v a_o die_a when_o i_o be_v a_o painful_a preach_a minister_n than_o i_o have_v hope_n of_o my_o salvation_n when_o i_o come_v to_o be_v a_o cardinal_n i_o doubt_v of_o it_o but_o when_o i_o come_v to_o be_v a_o pope_n i_o despair_v of_o it_o i_o be_v so_o entangle_v in_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n beloved_n so_o i_o may_v say_v to_o you_o when_o you_o be_v but_o ordinary_a christian_n in_o the_o world_n you_o be_v in_o a_o way_n to_o get_v assurance_n of_o your_o salvation_n but_o since_o you_o have_v be_v take_v up_o with_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n it_o do_v so_o distract_v your_o mind_n that_o you_o can_v be_v in_o no_o compose_a temper_n to_o have_v any_o settledness_n of_o heart_n about_o your_o everlasting_a estate_n it_o be_v the_o observation_n of_o philosopher_n that_o the_o sun_n be_v eclipse_v by_o the_o interposition_n of_o the_o moon_n the_o moon_n come_v between_o the_o sun_n and_o our_o sight_n beloved_n the_o sun_n of_o your_o comfort_n come_v to_o be_v eclipse_v by_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v make_v a_o emblem_n of_o the_o world_n rev._n 12.9_o now_o if_o the_o moon_n of_o the_o world_n come_v between_o your_o comfort_n and_o you_o it_o will_v miserable_o darken_v and_o

soul_n that_o they_o be_v effectual_o call_v and_o eternal_o elect_v give_v diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_v and_o election_n sure_a now_o i_o can_v handle_v this_o doctrine_n in_o the_o bulk_n of_o it_o but_o must_v of_o necessity_n take_v it_o into_o part_n and_o handle_v it_o piece_n by_o piece_n that_o so_o i_o may_v give_v you_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o whole_a observation_n in_o the_o application_n of_o it_o and_o see_v call_v lie_v in_o the_o front_n i_o shall_v in_o a_o few_o sermon_n treat_v of_o that_o and_o the_o point_n from_o thence_o will_v be_v this_o that_o doctr._n christian_n ought_v to_o put_v forth_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o diligence_n to_o make_v this_o sure_a to_o their_o soul_n that_o they_o be_v effectual_o call_v belove_a this_o be_v a_o very_a material_a point_n i_o be_o now_o upon_o especial_o in_o this_o deceitful_a age_n wherein_o man_n plunge_v themselves_o into_o a_o gulf_n of_o presumption_n wherein_o many_o time_n man_n take_v faith_n upon_o trust_n and_o christ_n upon_o trust_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o you_o that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n shall_v try_v your_o call_v by_o the_o gospel_n whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o no_o there_o may_v be_v a_o external_a cal_n when_o there_o be_v no_o inward_a call_n by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o your_o heart_n in_o the_o manage_n of_o this_o point_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o what_o effectual_a call_v be_v second_o why_o you_o be_v require_v to_o put_v forth_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_v sure_a to_o your_o soul_n three_o by_o what_o character_n or_o discovery_n you_o may_v be_v assure_v in_o your_o own_o heart_n that_o you_o be_v effectual_o call_v first_o what_o effectual_a call_v be_v you_o say_v we_o must_v make_v it_o sure_a therefore_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o for_o answer_v you_o may_v take_v this_o description_n of_o it_o effectual_a call_v be_v the_o fruit_n of_o god_n election_n whereby_o god_n of_o his_o free_a grace_n work_v a_o wonderful_a change_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o elect_a person_n by_o the_o inward_a operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n accompany_v the_o outward_a ministry_n of_o the_o word_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v bring_v from_o under_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n and_o satan_n into_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o so_o make_v meet_v for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n in_o glory_n now_o i_o shall_v not_o take_v this_o apart_o but_o commit_v it_o to_o your_o memory_n and_o judgement_n to_o apprehend_v only_o in_o this_o description_n there_o be_v lay_v down_o four_o difference_n to_o distinguish_v effectual_a call_v from_o that_o ordinary_a or_o outward_a call_v that_o wicked_a man_n have_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n as_o 1._o effectual_a call_v in_o the_o description_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o god_n election_n but_o outward_a or_o general_a call_v be_v a_o fruit_n only_o of_o common_a providence_n god_n by_o a_o overrule_a providence_n send_v the_o gospel_n among_o a_o people_n and_o thereby_o call_v they_o to_o a_o outward_a compliance_n and_o conformity_n but_o effectual_a call_v be_v a_o fruit_n of_o god_n election_n 2._o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o description_n that_o effectual_a call_v it_o change_v the_o heart_n whereby_o god_n work_v a_o wonderful_a change_n in_o the_o heart_n but_o a_o external_a call_v no_o way_n reach_v the_o heart_n only_o work_v some_o kind_n of_o civil_a or_o common_a alteration_n in_o the_o life_n 3._o it_o be_v say_v effectual_a call_v be_v wrought_v by_o the_o inward_a operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n accompany_v the_o outward_a ministry_n of_o the_o word_n whereas_o a_o external_n call_v be_v only_o by_o the_o word_n but_o no_o inward_a save_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n at_o all_o 4._o it_o be_v say_v of_o effectual_a call_v that_o it_o be_v from_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n but_o external_n call_v be_v only_o from_o the_o external_a act_n of_o sin_n indeed_o by_o a_o external_a call_v the_o word_n may_v have_v that_o power_n over_o a_o man_n as_o to_o restrain_v and_o keep_v in_o the_o visible_a and_o external_a act_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o no_o way_n work_v upon_o the_o inclination_n to_o take_v off_o the_o affection_n from_o sin_n whereas_o this_o effectual_a call_v work_n upon_o the_o heart_n and_o work_n to_o the_o subdue_a and_o destroy_v of_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o the_o act_n of_o it_o second_o why_o do_v god_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v put_v forth_o such_o great_a diligence_n in_o make_v sure_a that_o we_o be_v effectual_o call_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v three_o reason_n why_o this_o shall_v be_v reas_n 1_o first_o because_o there_o be_v many_o profess_v the_o gospel_n that_o do_v harbour_v ungrounded_a persuasion_n that_o they_o be_v effectual_o call_v when_o they_o be_v not_o now_o if_o many_o man_n be_v deceive_v why_o may_v not_o you_o and_o if_o many_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v deceive_v about_o this_o matter_n have_v not_o you_o great_a cause_n to_o be_v diligent_a lest_o you_o be_v deceive_v also_o the_o jew_n of_o old_a they_o boast_v of_o their_o call_v and_o say_v we_o have_v abraham_n to_o our_o father_n but_o christ_n confute_v that_o if_o you_o be_v abraham_n child_n say_v he_o you_o will_v do_v the_o work_n of_o abraham_n but_o you_o seek_v to_o kill_v i_o which_o abraham_n do_v not_o but_o then_o they_o go_v high_o john_n 8.46_o they_o be_v effectual_o call_v for_o god_n be_v our_o father_n no_o say_v christ_n you_o be_v of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n thus_o many_o man_n run_v into_o these_o gross_a mistake_n to_o believe_v they_o be_v effectual_o call_v when_o they_o be_v not_o many_o be_v call_v outward_o that_o be_v not_o call_v effectual_o matth._n 22.14_o and_o therefore_o it_o concern_v you_o not_o to_o be_v deceive_v in_o this_o great_a business_n reas_n 2_o second_o because_o there_o be_v this_o natural_a aptness_n in_o all_o of_o we_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o any_o value_n concern_v the_o body_n you_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o make_v sure_a of_o they_o it_o may_v be_v if_o you_o have_v brass_n and_o pewter_n or_o base_a metal_n your_o kitchen_n shall_v serve_v for_o that_o but_o thing_n of_o great_a value_n

the_o rock_n of_o presumption_n or_o quicksand_n of_o despair_n o_o now_o run_v to_o the_o ensure_a office_n what_o be_v that_o why_o run_v to_o seek_v the_o testimony_n of_o christ_n spirit_n in_o

the_o threefold_a task_n that_o lie_v upon_o you_o that_o enjoy_v this_o rich_a jewel_n of_o assurance_n first_o you_o be_v to_o take_v care_n that_o you_o right_o use_v and_o manage_v your_o assurance_n a_o thing_n hardly_o get_v if_o it_o be_v not_o well_o manage_v a_o man_n may_v enjoy_v it_o in_o a_o way_n of_o loss_n to_o himself_o to_o use_v assurance_n well_o be_v the_o great_a art_n of_o a_o christian_n and_o here_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v distinct_o to_o this_o direction_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o eight_o particular_n as_o concomitant_n or_o gracious_a qualification_n which_o must_v accompany_v you_o in_o a_o condition_n of_o assurance_n as_o first_o you_o must_v use_v and_o manage_v your_o assurance_n with_o humility_n in_o case_n you_o use_v it_o well_o assure_a christian_n must_v be_v humble_a christian_n the_o more_o high_a you_o be_v in_o comfort_n the_o more_o low_a you_o shall_v be_v in_o spirit_n you_o know_v the_o full_a ear_n of_o corn_n hang_v down_o their_o head_n low_a when_o light_n and_o flashy_a darnel_n that_o have_v nothing_o of_o worth_n in_o it_o lift_v up_o its_o head_n on_o high_a assure_v christian_n they_o be_v like_o your_o full_a and_o ripe_a ear_n of_o corn_n the_o more_o full_a they_o be_v of_o this_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n assurance_n the_o more_o low_a do_v they_o and_o shall_v they_o hang_v down_o their_o head_n it_o be_v your_o empty_a barrel_n make_v a_o noise_n when_o your_o full_a vessel_n though_o you_o strike_v they_o will_v not_o sound_v it_o be_v those_o christian_n that_o be_v most_o empty_a of_o faith_n and_o most_o empty_a of_o assurance_n that_o make_v most_o noise_n and_o be_v most_o proud_a of_o their_o gift_n and_o grace_n when_o your_o assure_a christian_n they_o be_v like_o vessel_n full_a of_o the_o best_a liquor_n that_o makethe_v least_o noise_n the_o full_a god_n have_v fill_v you_o with_o this_o comfort_n the_o more_o you_o shall_v shine_v forth_o in_o humility_n as_o paul_n when_o he_o say_v christ_n love_v he_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o when_o he_o be_v most_o full_a of_o comfort_n he_o be_v most_o fill_v with_o humility_n and_o say_v i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o second_o you_o must_v manage_v your_o assurance_n with_o a_o high_a valuation_n of_o the_o comfort_n of_o god_n in_o you_o a_o man_n that_o have_v receive_v a_o benefit_n if_o he_o do_v not_o value_v it_o it_o be_v a_o provocation_n to_o the_o man_n that_o give_v it_o either_o to_o repent_v of_o his_o gift_n or_o take_v it_o away_o david_n when_o he_o have_v assurance_n mark_v how_o he_o value_v it_o psal_n 63.3_o thy_o love_a kindness_n be_v better_a than_o life_n he_o value_v the_o comfort_n of_o his_o god_n and_o the_o shine_a of_o god_n countenance_n better_o than_o life_n and_o psal_n 4.6_o lift_v thou_o up_o the_o light_n of_o thy_o countenance_n upon_o i_o and_o that_o shall_v more_o glad_v i_o than_o when_o my_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o oil_n increase_v david_n will_v more_o value_v the_o comfort_n of_o god_n spirit_n than_o any_o other_o comfort_n in_o the_o world_n assure_v christian_n that_o use_v assurance_n right_o they_o must_v put_v a_o high_a valuation_n and_o worth_n upon_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o you_o will_v not_o then_o easy_o part_v with_o your_o assurance_n for_o a_o base_a and_o beggarly_a lust_n and_o for_o a_o fruitless_a sin_n if_o once_o you_o know_v the_o value_n and_o worth_n of_o it_o three_o your_o assurance_n must_v make_v you_o to_o live_v with_o a_o wean_a heart_n from_o the_o comfort_n of_o this_o world_n 2_o cor._n 4._o the_o last_o verse_n compare_v with_o chapt._n 5.1_o the_o apostle_n tell_v you_o we_o do_v not_o look_v after_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v see_v that_o be_v

not_o worthy_a the_o glance_n of_o the_o eye_n person_n that_o have_v assurance_n can_v say_v as_o philip_n say_v to_o christ_n john_n 14.8_o show_v we_o say_v philip_n the_o father_n and_o it_o

shall_v suffice_v i_o gracious_a heart_n that_o live_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o assurance_n they_o ought_v to_o live_v with_o a_o wean_a heart_n from_o the_o comfort_n of_o this_o world_n man_n that_o have_v taste_v honey_n or_o some_o other_o sweet_a morsel_n they_o do_v distaste_v all_o other_o thing_n though_o of_o themselves_o very_o pleasant_a so_o man_n that_o have_v taste_v of_o
