This certainty is not a bare conjectural, and probable perswasion, grounded upon a fallible hope; but an infallible assurance of faith founded on the Blood and Righteousness of Christa revealed in the Gospel; and also upon the inwardb evidence of those graces of the Spirit unto which promises are made, and on the testimony of thec Spirit of adoption, witnessing with our Spirits that we are the children of God; and as a fruit thereof keeping the heart bothd humble and holy.e
