The

of

ele&iion is
the faluation

The
effeásofGodselec`Iíon,hich
are the
fubordinate
caufes
or meanes
of
our faluation,
are
principally three
;
Vocation,Iuflification,andSanétificarion.
By
vocation
we are
feparated from the
world,
made mein
-
bers
of
the Church,& ingraftcd.into
the
body ofChrifi
;
and
this
is
ordinarilie done
by the
preaching
ofthe
\vord,being
made
effe
&Iual
by
the.inwar_d
operation
of
Gods
fpirit;or ex-
traordinarily
by
frame
other
rnear,es, or
immediately by the
illumination
of
tie
holy
Ghofi.
In our
iuiification
we
haue'
the pardon and
remifiron
ofal
our fumes
byvertuc
ofChri
fls
merit,
and
are
adorned with
his
righteoufneffe imputed
un-
to
vs:
and this
is
done,principally by
God
himfelfe,&
infru-
mentallic by
a
liuelie
faith.
Our
fan
&tification
confifleth
in
our dying to fin,and
riling
vp
to
newnes
of
life; which
is
he-
gun,increafed,and
finned
in
vs
by
Gods
Spirit.
Whofoeucr
therefore

alto are effe6lual-
