SQtanstemptations

and
attentiuely, nor
of
treafuring
it
vp
in
their
hearts) they
are
not
truly called
;
whofoeuer haue
not
Chrifls
righteouf
neffe
and obedience imputed
and applied vnto them (which
none
haue
that
are
deflitute
of
a
true and fruitfull
faith'
are
not
iuflified
;
whofoeuer

without

tance,without
any
carnet}
delire and heartie endeuour
of
fer-
uing the Lord in
holineffe
and righteoufnefie
of
life are
not
fanctified; and whofoeuer
are
not
called,iuflified
and
fan&

fled,'hall
neuer
be
faued
;
for
the
end and the
meanes
ten-
ding thereunto
are
ioyned
together
in
Gods
predeflination.
So
that
where
the
one is,
there the other
is;
where the one
neuer
is, there.
the other
'hall
euer
be
wanting.And
there-
fore
as
by our fanclification, iuflificatión, and vocation, we
may certainely conclude
that
we
are
el.c6ted.and (hall
be
fa=
ued;
fo
ifwe
be
without
thefe,we may
as
certainely
inferre
that
we
are
reie6ted, and (hall be condemned
if
we hue and
die in
this
flare.
Seeing then this
is
Gods truths
let not
Satan lull
vs in
fe-
curitie
with
that
fophiflicall
cauill
;
ifwebe
eleaed
we (hall
be
faued
flue
how
we
lift;
if
we be reprobates we (hall be
condemned,
be we
neuer
fo
earne'l
in
labouring
after
godli-
neffe; for thefe principles may
well (land
together, it
is
im-
poflïble
that the
elect
fhould perifh, and
as
impoilible
alto
that
any
who
beleeue
not
in
Chrifl,
and
bring
not
forth
the
fruites
of
their faith
in
a
godly
and-
Chriftian
life
fhould
be
faued
;
it cannot
be
that
the reprobate fhould attaine vnto
euerlalling
happineffe,and
that
any
fhould
not
attaine there-
unto, who
defireth
and endeuoureth
to
ferue
and
feare
the
Lord
:
becaufe
predeflination
and faluation
are fo
coupled
together
.with the
manes
that
come
betweene
them,
that
they cannot
pofíibly be
feuered
from one
another,
nor
the
.
meanes from
either
ofthem,
nor
yet
amongft themfelues;
euen
as
the
firft
lincke
of
a

is
ioyned with the

thofe which
are
betweene them,
and
thefe
which
are in the
