8. The Doctrine of this high Mystery of Predestination is to be handled with speciall prudence and care,a that men attending the Will of God revealed in his Word, and yeelding obedience thereunto, may, from the certainty of their effectuall Vocation, be assured of their eternall Election.b So shall this Doctrine afford matter of praise, reverence, and admiration of God,c and of humility, diligence, and abundant consolation to all that sincerely obey the Gospel.d
