part

that
he
cannot

but
we
say
,
it
is
not

usuall
course

ordinary
may
of
dispensing
grace
,
to
do
it

The
soul
cannot
come
into
Christ
,
till
it

can
the
soul
know
that
Christ

till

Christ
will
onely
come

,
and
give
such
a
soul
power
to
rest
,
and
relye
upon

,
as

But
till

,
it

Lastly
,
I
shall
speak
something
by
way

direction

caution

That
it
is
a
truth
,
and
that
which
must
stand
if
all

liers
to
it

That
God
seldom

never

as
God
hath
assigned
no

for

so
neither
can
any

set
thee
a

There
may
be
a
cause
in
the
temper
and
variety
of
dispositions
,
upon
which
God
makes
his
speciall
grace
glorious
.
Some
dispositions
are
not

fixt

settle
long
upon

object
,
as
to
be

are

Moveable
dispositions
(
saith
Doctor
are
not
long
affected
with
any
thing
,
and
therefore
one
main
use
of
crosses
,
is
to
take
off
the
soul
from
that
it
is
so
dangerously
set
upon
,
and
fix
our
running
spirits
:
the
spirits
may
be
sometimes
weak
,
ana
so
wasted
,
that
they
would
not
be
able
to
indure
so
strong
a
conflict
of
grief
as
others
that
are
of

strong
,
and
stout
spirits

Now
to
this

I
will
speak
something
:
first
,
by
way
of
promise
;
secondly
,
by
way
of
consolation
and
direction
.
By
way
of
promise
That
from
all

,
God
made
choice
of
a
particular
and
determinate
number
of
persons
,
to
save
them
and
none
other
;
nor
can
any
be
saved
,
but
those
who
were
so
elected
,
and
whosoever
are
so
elected
,
shall
not
fall
away
.
Secondly
,
It
is
a
truth
,
Thirdly
,
It
is
a
truth
,
Nay
fourthly
,
It
is
a
truth
,
It
is
that
which
the
Apostle
calls
for
at
Christians
hands
That
there
are
but
a
very
few
elected
,
and
whosoever
is
elected
,
shall
beleeve
,
and
more
then
are
elected
,
neither
can
nor
shall
beleeve
;
Many
are
called
and
few
are
chosen
created
to
good
works
Then
I
have
no
ground
to
beleeve
,
except
I
knew
that
I
were
one
of
those
few
,
whose
names
God
hath
written
in

God

that
his
particular

of
any
soul
to
eternall
life
,
should
be
concealed
from
it
till
it
hath
beleeved
,
God
in
his
wisdom
hath
thought
it
a
sufficient
ground
for
a
soul
to
beleeve
in
him
,
and
trust
to
him
,
that
in
the
promulgation
of
his
Gospel
,
he
hath
shut
none
out
of
heaven
,
that
have
not
shut
out
themselves
.
Thou
slanderest
his
charters
of
free-grace
,
Whosoever
beleeveth
shall
live
If
thou
wilt
but
beleeve
,
nothing
that
is
in
Gods
decree
,
shall
or
can
hinder
thee
of
salvation
:
Whosoever
beleeves
in
him
shall
not
perish

have
everlasting
life

He
that
beleeveth
