3 Nevertheless we do not believe that all the good care
and pains employed by men in order
to the working out their salvation are, before Faith
and the spirit of Renovation, vain and unprofitable,
and even more prejudicial than advantageous; but on the contrary, we maintain,
that to hear the Word of God, to be sorry for, and
repent of our sins, earnestly to desire saving Grace
and the Spirit of Renovation, (which however cannot be done without Grace)
are not only not hurtful, but rather very useful and
absolutely necessary to the attaining Faith and
the Spirit of Renovation.
4 The Will has no power in the state of sin
and before the call, of doing any good to salvation.
And therefore we deny that the will
has in every state of man, the liberty or freedom
of willing the saving good, as well as evil.
5 Efficacious Grace, whereby men are converted,
is not irresistable; and tho' God works in
such a manner by his Word, and the internal
operation of his Spirit, as to communicate
the power of believing and supernatural strength,
and even to cause men actually to
believe; yet nevertheless men may of themselves
reject this Grace, and refuse to believe
and consequently be lost thro' their own fault.
6 Though according to the most free will of God
the divine Grace is very unequally distributed
yet the Holy Spirit imparts, or is ready to impart
to all and every man to whom the
Word is preached, as much Grace as is
sufficient to promote the conversion of men
by its
just degrees. Such Grace therefore as
is sufficient for Faith and Conversion, is
not given to those only whom God (as some
think) will save according to the decree of
an absolute Election; but likewise even to
those who yet in reality are not converted.
