VIII.
Thus when they heare the preaching of the word, god profereth saluation to them, and calleth them,g yet this calling is not so effectuall in them as it is in the elect children of God. For the reprobate when he is called, he liketh him∣selfe in his owne blindnes, and therefore neither will he; and if he would, yet could he not answer, and be obedient to the calling of God. The elect beeing called, with speed he answereth, and commeth to the Lord, and his heart bee∣ing readie, giueth a strong and loud eccho to the voice of the Lord. This eccho we see in Dauids heart: hWhē (saith he) thou saidst, Seek ye my face: mine heart an∣swered vnto thee; O Lord, I will seek thy face. And god himself speaketh the same of his children. Zach. 13.9, They shall call on my name, and I wil heare them: I wil say, it is my people (nowe marke the eccho) and they shall say, the Lord is my God.
