1. Vocation, or Calling, General, or Common, is, when God by the means of his Word and Spirit, freely of his own Grace and Goodness, doth ministerially acquaint Mankind with his gracious good purpose of Salvation, by Jesus Christ; inviting and woing them to come to him,a and to accept of Christ revealing unto them the Gospel-Covenant;b and those that with Cordial Hearts do improve this common Grace,c he in time worketh unfained Faith, and sincere Repentance in them;d and by his Grace they come to accept of Christ, as their only Lord and Saviour, with their whole Heart; and God becomes their Father in Christ, and they being then effectually called,e are by Faith united to Jesus Christ by Grace unto Salvation.f
