BOOK IV: The mighty and powerful grace which God dispenses to his elect
appointment with himself: will any one say, that this man is the cause of those effluxes of poison, which he barely lets out, and yet he is the appointer of them?
Lastly, Hereby God shews an infinite wisdom, in the variety of those his appointments, so shewing every man what is in his own heart, whilst he lets it out in others; and in this manner, appointing all manner of sinners to be extant in the world, as in Rom. 1, as he doth all sizes of grace in his own, and all by appointment.
BOOK IV The mighty and powerful grace which God dispenses to his elect, in effectually calling them, in preserving them from temptations and sin, in strengthening and enabling them to persevere unto the end, and in bringing them at last securely to an eternal glory, by all which, the greatness of election grace is more fully cleared and proved.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory by Jesus Christ, after that ye have suffered a while, make you [or will make you] perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.—1
PETER 5:10.
