(2) The Reasons for the two Doctrines are these. 1. The Righteous and Upright Men are Gods Chosen, whom the Lord will defend. 2. They are predestinated unto the A- doption of Sons by Jesus Christ. 3. They are made accepted in the Be- loved. 4. They have a through Redempti[o]n by the Bl[o]od of Jesus. 5. They have the abundance of the Riches of Gods grace, and in all, Spiri- tual Wisdom a[n]d Prudence. 6. To these he hath revealed the Mystery of his Will, The secrets of the Lord are with those that fear him. 7. For such Christ hath purchased and prepared an Everlasting Inheritance. 8. And lastly are Sealed, and have set too their Seal by the holy Spirits witness, that God is true. Now to prosecute the Subject, that which Relates to the Person, and the oc- casion of the [fall] [?]
(3) A Conference of Friends about this Afflicted Condition. SIster, what manner of Conversation be- fore this Trouble befell you? Friends, I had a Zeal for performance of Duties and was, as I thought, a per- fect Observer o[f] Forms according to the Letter; but reading those Sacred words, of having a form of Godliness, and denying the Power thereof, this put me upon an enquiry what this power of Godliness was. At this rate of enquiry when poor heart do you think to be setled, and to mind that you must live by another day when you shall change your Condition. My Dear, your Discourse is good, as to the World and worldly wise, but as me you are but miserable Comforters. I must not conceal my better part; Mar- tha was cumbered, I with Mary have chosen the better part. Swines husks would not satisfie a returned considering Prodigal. I and you are commanded to give all diligence to make our Calling [?] (10) 10. The Holy Spirit blows where and when he pleaseth, let us therefore cherish all his motions, till grace attain to its per- fection; to that end consider the uncertain continuance of Life, 'tis but a span long, we have a great work to do, Death is un- certain, he spares none, great, and finall, poor, or rich, strong, or weak; the Bells call to us, the Graves, Bones, and Sculs shew us what we must shortly be, Death puts another kind of face upon the things we now see; Sin delightful, then dreadful, Satan now still, then a terrible accuser; thoughts of Hell frightful, t[he] eyes fail, the Tongue flatters, the Throat rattles, Friends fail, Hearts fail, Judgement is next, where [S]inners receive Sentence, and Believers a Glorious Inheritance;[S]alva- tion is the reward of Perseverance. Thus Piety hath the Promise, and Faithfulness the Crown, which is the Portion wisht of the Author to the Reader.
