2. This Perseverance of the Saints, depends not upon their own free-will, but upon the immutability of the Decree of Election flowing from the free and unchangeable love of God the Father;a upon the efficacy of the merit, and intercession of Jesus Christ;b the abiding of the Spirit, and of the seed of God within them;c and the nature of the Covenant of Grace:d from all which, ariseth also the certainty, and infallibility thereof.e
