A88594	A treatise of effectual calling and election. In XVI. sermons, on 2 Pet. 1.10 Wherein a Christian may discern, whether yet he be effectually called and elected. And what course he ought to take that he may attain the assurance thereof. Preached by that faithful servant of Christ, Mr. Christopher Love, late minister of Lawrence Jury, London.	Love, Christopher, 1618-1651.; Calamy, Edward, 1600-1666.; Cross, Thomas, fl. 1632-1682,	1653 (1653)	Wing L3178; Thomason E696_1; ESTC R202781	182,095	256

we_o can_v go_v one_o step_n high_o we_o do_v not_o only_a delight_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n but_o we_o love_v the_o godly_a who_o be_v effectual_o call_v to_o grace_n and_o glory_n and_o if_o we_o love_v they_o we_o hope_v it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o we_o also_o be_v call_v and_o they_o urge_v that_o scripture_n for_o it_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n if_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n 1_o joh._n 3.14_o now_o to_o speak_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v clear_a in_o scripture_n that_o every_o kind_n of_o love_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v no_o argument_n of_o effectual_a call_n but_o there_o may_v be_v a_o feign_a and_o a_o counterfeit_a love_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o grace_n hence_o the_o apostle_n press_v rom._n 12.9_o let_v your_o love_n be_v without_o dissimulation_n import_v that_o man_n may_v dissemble_v their_o love_n as_o well_o as_o any_o grace_n else_o 1_o john_n 3.18_o let_v we_o not_o love_v in_o word_n and_o in_o tongue_n only_o but_o in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n so_o 1_o pet._n 1.22_o let_v there_o be_v unfeigned_a love_n to_o the_o brethren_n intimate_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o feign_a and_o false_a love_n so_o that_o every_o kind_n of_o love_n be_v no_o evidence_n of_o effectual_a call_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v make_v out_o by_o this_o demonstration_n because_o there_o be_v several_a act_n or_o expression_n of_o love_n that_o man_n who_o be_v not_o effectual_o call_v may_v show_v to_o godly_a man_n now_o if_o a_o man_n uncalled_a may_v show_v many_o expression_n and_o act_n of_o love_n to_o a_o man_n convert_v then_o mere_a show_v love_n to_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v no_o argument_n of_o your_o effectual_a call_n i_o shall_v reduce_v what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v unto_o six_o head_n as_o 1._o a_o man_n may_v be_v frequent_o in_o the_o company_n of_o godly_a man_n yet_o not_o be_v effectual_o call_v and_o so_o demas_n be_v a_o companion_n with_o paul_n in_o the_o gospel_n yet_o he_o not_o call_v but_o embrace_v the_o world_n and_o fall_v away_o 2._o they_o may_v speak_v well_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o this_o john_n tell_v we_o 1_o john_n 3.18_o let_v we_o not_o love_v in_o word_n or_o in_o tongue_n this_o love_a in_o word_n and_o tongue_n be_v to_o speak_v well_o of_o a_o godly_a man_n this_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v do_v 3._o they_o may_v write_v letter_n of_o commendation_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n and_o so_o you_o read_v of_o pilat_n wife_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v as_o no_o evidence_n of_o her_o conversion_n mat._n 27.19_o she_o write_v a_o letter_n to_o her_o husband_n in_o the_o morning_n before_o he_o be_v to_o arraign_v christ_n and_o tell_v he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o that_o just_a man_n here_o you_o see_v she_o write_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o a_o good_a man_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o we_o read_v of_o claudius_n lysias_n that_o he_o write_v a_o letter_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o paul_n to_o felix_n the_o governor_n here_o be_v great_a act_n of_o love_n yet_o these_o no_o evidence_n of_o their_o effectual_a call_n nay_o 4._o they_o may_v think_v nothing_o too_o much_o to_o give_v to_o good_a man_n yet_o not_o be_v call_v and_o so_o do_v the_o galathian_o who_o calling_n paul_n question_n gal._n 4.15_o they_o will_v pull_v out_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o not_o think_v they_o too_o dear_a for_o paul_n yet_o at_o length_n how_o cold_a do_v they_o grow_v and_o count_v paul_n their_o enemy_n for_o tell_v they_o the_o truth_n 5._o they_o may_v express_v such_o love_n that_o in_o time_n of_o danger_n they_o may_v take_v care_n of_o the_o safety_n of_o godly_a man_n so_o act_v 23.27_o claudius_n lysias_n when_o he_o hear_v paul_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o life_n he_o come_v with_o a_o army_n of_o man_n to_o rescue_v he_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o take_v away_o his_o life_n from_o he_o and_o yet_o claudius_n lysias_n live_v and_o die_v a_o heathen_a for_o aught_o the_o scripture_n mention_n last_o they_o may_v relieve_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o godly_a yet_o not_o be_v effectual_o call_v now_o here_o be_v high_a expression_n of_o love_n yet_o it_o be_v evident_a all_o these_o may_v be_v where_o calling_n be_v not_o but_o now_o its_o true_a in_o some_o case_n love_v to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n may_v prove_v a_o good_a evidence_n of_o one_o effectual_a call_v to_o wit_n if_o it_o have_v these_o four_o qualification_n 1._o if_o you_o love_v the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o this_o notion_n because_o godly_a it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o your_o effectual_a call_n because_o there_o be_v good_a in_o they_o more_o than_o because_o you_o receive_v good_a from_o they_o hence_o it_o be_v john_n tell_v we_o wicked_a man_n may_v love_v a_o godly_a man_n because_o they_o have_v good_a from_o he_o 2_o john_n 1._o to_o the_o elect_a lady_n who_o i_o love_v in_o the_o truth_n for_o the_o truth_n sake_n dwell_v in_o she_o john_n do_v not_o love_v the_o lady_n because_o she_o be_v a_o lady_n or_o because_o she_o be_v a_o goodly_a woman_n but_o for_o the_o truth_n sake_n that_o dwell_v in_o she_o whereas_o wicked_a man_n they_o love_v a_o godly_a man_n but_o not_o as_o godly_a under_o that_o notion_n therefore_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o difference_n between_o john_n love_n to_o a_o godly_a person_n and_o claudius_n lysias_n a_o man_n unconvert_v act_n 23.27_o claudius_n lysias_n tell_v you_o there_o that_o paul_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o life_n and_o with_o a_o army_n i_o rescue_v he_o now_o why_o be_v it_o he_o do_v so_o do_v he_o love_n paul_n because_o a_o godly_a man_n no_o for_o mark_v the_o next_o word_n with_o a_o army_n i_o rescue_v he_o because_o it_o be_v tell_v i_o he_o be_v a_o roman_a he_o love_v paul_n for_o his_o nation_n not_o for_o his_o conversion_n have_v he_o love_v paul_n as_o paul_n paul_n as_o a_o christian_a this_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o grace_n but_o to_o love_n paul_n as_o a_o roman_a because_o of_o country_n and_o nation_n sake_n this_o be_v no_o evidence_n of_o his_o call_n so_o mat._n 5.46_o 47._o if_o you_o love_v they_o that_o love_v you_o what_o reward_n have_v you_o do_v not_o even_o the_o publican_n so_o so_o that_o you_o see_v a_o wide_a difference_n between_o the_o love_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n and_o of_o a_o wicked_a man_n 2._o to_o measure_v your_o love_n to_o they_o by_o their_o grace_n that_o you_o love_v that_o man_n most_o that_o have_v most_o grace_n that_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o effectual_a call_n because_o it_o be_v grace_n in_o the_o man_n and_o nothing_o else_o you_o love_v 3._o if_o your_o love_n be_v universal_a to_o all_o that_o be_v godly_a of_o what_o sort_n or_o condition_n soever_o they_o be_v this_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o your_o effectual_a call_n for_o than_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o grace_n as_o grace_n be_v the_o object_n of_o your_o love_n last_o to_o love_v a_o man_n so_o as_o to_o carry_v compassion_n in_o your_o breast_n towards_o he_o to_o have_v a_o sympathize_v heart_n with_o he_o in_o his_o suffering_n 1_o pet._n 3.8_o sufferone_n with_o another_o love_v as_o brethren_n this_o show_v your_o love_n to_o be_v true_a when_o it_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n to_o attend_v it_o delos_n i_o pass_v now_o to_o a_o three_o delusion_n which_o indeed_o be_v a_o main_a delufion_n and_o have_v deceive_v many_o special_o those_o that_o profess_v the_o gospel_n to_o make_v they_o believe_v they_o be_v effectual_o call_v when_o they_o be_v not_o and_o that_o be_v because_o they_o discern_v a_o change_n in_o their_o conversation_n that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o same_o man_n they_o be_v in_o day_n past_a and_o hereby_o the_o devil_n prop_n up_o this_o persuasion_n that_o sure_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v effectual_o call_v and_o he_o allege_v scripture_n for_o it_o 1_o cor._n 6.9_o 10_o 11._o such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o but_o you_o be_v wash_v etc._n etc._n now_o this_o be_v so_o universal_a a_o delusion_n among_o most_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o if_o they_o have_v hope_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v upon_o this_o ground_n that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o same_o now_o they_o be_v in_o time_n past_a i_o shall_v therefore_o a_o little_a enlarge_v myself_o in_o speak_v of_o this_o particular_a and_o shall_v lay_v down_o six_o or_o seven_o particular_n wherein_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o this_o ground_n take_v in_o general_a be_v no_o infallible_a evidence_n of_o a_o man_n effectual_a call_n first_o because_o there_o be_v many_o gradual_a change_n which_o do_v not_o come_v up_o or_o amount_v to_o a_o save_a change_n or_o alteration_n

and_o that_o first_o wrought_v upon_o i_o or_o say_v a_o three_o it_o may_v be_v if_o it_o be_v the_o word_n it_o be_v the_o word_n preach_v by_o a_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v now_o turn_v either_o erroneous_a in_o judgement_n or_o profane_v in_o practice_n and_o this_o occasion_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o jealousy_n the_o word_n preach_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o godly_a minister_n be_v god_n ordinary_a way_n but_o i_o be_v altogether_o out_o of_o this_o way_n and_o therefore_o this_o do_v make_v he_o suspect_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o effectual_a call_n now_o beloved_n i_o beseech_v you_o lend_v i_o your_o thought_n a_o little_a for_o i_o will_v fain_o make_v this_o doctrine_n as_o comfortable_a to_o every_o call_v one_o as_o i_o can_v i_o shall_v speak_v of_o all_o these_o in_o order_n and_o show_v you_o that_o put_v case_n either_o of_o these_o have_v be_v the_o mean_n of_o thy_o call_n yet_o thou_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o thy_o effectual_a call_n first_o thou_o suspect_v thy_o call_n because_o the_o mean_n have_v be_v say_v thou_o not_o by_o hear_v a_o sermon_n or_o the_o word_n preach_v but_o by_o live_v among_o good_a christian_n and_o see_v their_o example_n and_o their_o live_n thou_o come_v by_o this_o mean_n to_o love_v the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o mean_n that_o convert_v thou_o belove_a i_o doubt_v not_o but_o i_o speak_v to_o a_o great_a many_o that_o can_v say_v a_o sermon_n ever_o convert_v they_o but_o only_o that_o they_o be_v gain_v to_o god_n way_n to_o embrace_v the_o truth_n this_o way_n now_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v to_o such_o man_n as_o these_o why_o i_o will_v say_v thus_o much_o that_o though_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o use_v his_o word_n preach_v the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o convert_v soul_n in_o call_v thou_o yet_o god_n be_v not_o tie_v and_o bind_v up_o to_o his_o word_n preach_v but_o he_o may_v use_v other_o mean_n to_o convert_v thy_o soul_n second_o and_o more_o particular_o that_o live_v among_o good_a people_n and_o see_v of_o their_o example_n both_o in_o life_n and_o worship_n we_o find_v in_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o very_a efficacious_a mean_n oftentimes_o to_o convince_v sometime_o to_o convert_v and_o if_o you_o can_v find_v out_o this_o in_o scripture_n you_o may_v have_v abundance_n of_o comfort_n it_o have_v be_v a_o mean_n oftentimes_o to_o convince_v 1_o pet._n 3.16_o they_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a to_o speak_v evil_a of_o you_o while_o they_o behold_v your_o conversation_n in_o christ_n when_o they_o shall_v see_v that_o you_o live_v in_o christ_n and_o walk_v according_a to_o christ_n they_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a ashamed_a of_o what_o they_o have_v do_v and_o what_o they_o have_v speak_v it_o shall_v convince_v they_o so_o 1_o pet._n 2.15_o and_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o orderly_a and_o regular_a manage_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 14.24_o 25._o if_o there_o come_v a_o unbeliever_n among_o you_o &_o he_o see_v your_o order_n say_v he_o he_o shall_v fall_v down_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o you_o he_o shall_v be_v convince_v and_o shall_v say_v of_o a_o truth_n god_n be_v among_o you_o see_v this_o say_v the_o apostle_n godly_a man_n holy_a in_o their_o life_n and_o holy_a in_o their_o worship_n though_o he_o be_v a_o unbeliever_n he_o shall_v fall_v down_o and_o say_v of_o a_o truth_n god_n be_v among_o you_o that_o be_v by_o way_n of_o conviction_n nay_o further_o sometime_o god_n do_v bless_v the_o gracious_a life_n and_o blameless_a example_n of_o christian_n to_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o convert_v some_o when_o the_o gospel_n can_v do_v it_o and_o you_o will_v think_v this_o very_a comfortable_a can_v it_o be_v make_v good_a i_o will_v commend_v but_o one_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o you_o to_o prove_v what_o a_o blessing_n it_o be_v to_o live_v in_o a_o good_a family_n where_o either_o husband_n or_o wife_n or_o any_o one_o in_o the_o family_n be_v godly_a 1_o pet._n 3.1_o wife_n be_v subject_a to_o your_o husband_n what_o then_o that_o your_o husband_n who_o be_v not_o win_v by_o the_o word_n may_v be_v win_v without_o the_o word_n while_o they_o behold_v the_o conversation_n of_o their_o wife_n a_o notable_a text_n there_o be_v many_o wicked_a husband_n that_o all_o the_o sermon_n they_o hear_v will_v not_o convert_v they_o yet_o the_o apostle_n tell_v they_o that_o if_o the_o wife_n do_v live_v a_o godly_a and_o holy_a life_n their_o life_n sometime_o shall_v be_v more_o efficacious_a to_o convert_v their_o husband_n than_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v and_o this_o beloved_n do_v clear_o take_v off_o this_o first_o plea_n of_o you_o that_o because_o you_o be_v convert_v by_o example_n and_o by_o live_v among_o good_a christian_n and_o see_v their_o walking_n this_o gain_v upon_o you_o this_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o discouragement_n because_o sometime_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n do_v bless_v example_n of_o gracious_a life_n to_o make_v they_o win_v and_o gain_v upon_o man_n that_o be_v bring_v home_o to_o jesus_n christ_n second_o they_o go_v yet_o further_o there_o be_v another_o poor_a soul_n bring_v home_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o what_o say_v he_o i_o do_v misdoubt_v the_o mean_n of_o my_o call_n for_o a_o sermon_n never_o wrought_v upon_o i_o the_o first_o thing_n of_o all_o that_o ever_o gain_v upon_o i_o it_o be_v the_o read_n of_o some_o chapter_n in_o the_o bible_n or_o some_o other_o holy_a man_n book_n and_o that_o make_v i_o first_o to_o hate_v sin_n and_o love_v the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o look_v after_o his_o word_n for_o my_o salvation_n and_o here_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o christian_n have_v find_v the_o word_n read_v the_o first_o mean_n of_o gain_v upon_o their_o heart_n and_o therefore_o to_o take_v off_o this_o likewise_o i_o shall_v speak_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n in_o way_n of_o answer_n as_o first_o that_o god_n be_v not_o tie_v to_o any_o mean_n but_o can_v work_v with_o the_o mean_a mean_n to_o bring_v home_o people_n to_o jesus_n christ_n if_o peter_n conversion_n be_v by_o a_o cock_n a_o cock_n crow_v and_o a_o look_n of_o christ_n eye_n why_o may_v not_o christ_n use_v the_o scripture_n read_v to_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o a_o man_n call_n if_o from_o stone_n god_n can_v raise_v up_o child_n to_o abraham_n why_o can_v god_n do_v it_o by_o the_o word_n also_o to_o make_v the_o word_n read_v a_o mean_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n to_o effect_v it_o god_n that_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n with_o nothing_o without_o mean_n can_v bring_v to_o pass_v great_a thing_n by_o weak_a mean_n second_o and_o more_o particular_o that_o though_o ordinary_o preach_v and_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n preach_v be_v ordain_v by_o god_n and_o crown_v by_o he_o chief_o to_o be_v a_o mean_v instrumental_a to_o convert_v soul_n yet_o god_n sometime_o have_v bless_v the_o read_n of_o the_o word_n to_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o convert_v soul_n likewise_o yet_o belove_v i_o will_v not_o do_v as_o the_o prelate_n do_v who_o will_v fain_o have_v bring_v in_o read_v to_o justle_v out_o preach_v preach_v be_v the_o more_o noble_a work_n and_o must_v be_v high_a in_o our_o thought_n yet_o if_o god_n will_v go_v out_o in_o a_o unusual_a way_n who_o can_v control_v he_o if_o god_n will_v do_v it_o by_o a_o chapter_n read_v when_o not_o by_o a_o sermon_n preach_v who_o can_v resist_v god_n if_o he_o will_v show_v his_o power_n by_o weak_a mean_n who_o shall_v gainsay_v it_o god_n sometime_o honour_v the_o read_n of_o the_o word_n to_o give_v encouragement_n to_o read_v to_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o some_o man_n call_n i_o have_v read_v of_o s._n austin_n that_o he_o be_v convert_v not_o by_o hear_v a_o sermon_n but_o by_o open_v the_o bible_n and_o read_v that_o place_n rom_n 13.13_o

the_o child_n of_o the_o kingdom_n he_o call_v the_o heathen_a the_o child_n of_o the_o world_n now_o many_o of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o utter_a darkness_n if_o
