effeá'lually

are
Chrifls fheepe
that
heare his
voyce and follow him,
Ioh.io.4.
Thofe
are
ingrafted into
his
body,who bring forth
the fruites of.gòdlineffe:
for
as
the
branch
can
bring
forth
no fruite except
it
abide
in
the
vine,
fo
neither
can
we
brim;
forth
any fruites
ofpietieand
righte
--
oufüeffe
except
wee
abide
in
Chrifl;
and
therefore
if
we
doe
bring
forth
thefe
fruits,it
manifeflly
appeareth
that
we
are
in
Chrifl, and confequently truly
called
and eleeled,
for
without
him
we
could
do
nothinx,
as
it
is

5.4.5
The third
effeel'
ofGods le6tion,is
our iuflification,con-
fining
in
the
remiflìon
of
our
firmes,
and
the imputation
of
Chrifls righteoufnes:and to this
is
required
atruc
and
liuelie
faith,
which
affureth.vs
ofthe
retniffion
ofour
finnes,
and ap-
plieth
vnto
vs
Chrifts
rightcoufizefie.
Ifthere
"fore
we
beleeue
that
our
finnes
arc forgiuen,
ifwe
do
by
faith applie
vntovs
'Chrifl
and his
righteoufüefle,w'e
may be affured
that
we
are
iuflified,ánd
confequentlie
elcéled.Now
this
perfwafion
and
liuelie faith,is difcernedby the
fruites
thereof,for
it
purifieth
our hearts,
and
worketh
by loue; and it
worketh
in
vs
an
ha-
tred
offinne,and
lone
ofrighteoufüeffe, which
is
our faneli-
fication.
So
that
our
fanuification which
is
the
laPr
effe&
ofGods
ele
Lion wrought
in vs in
this life,is the true touchfloue
()fa!
the
refl:
whereby
wee may certainelie
know whether
we
effeeluallie
called,
that
is,fëparated from
the
world,
and
in-
grafted
as
liuelie members
into the bodie
ofChrifl
;and whe-
ther
we
be truelie iuflified,
that
is,purged from
the
guilt
and
punifh,nent
ofour
finnes by_Chrifls
blood
and adorned
with
his
righteoufheffe imputed
vnto
vs.
For
if
wce
be
feparated
frori
the
world,then
doe
we
not
fet
our mindes vpon

lie
