11. Of unequal Proportions of Grace in respect of outward Means.

TO some the Gospel is revealed, to others it is not re∣vealed, and yet the condition of them both antecedent to Gospel-Revelation was the same.

Of baptized Children of Christian Parents, under the Tur∣kish Tyranny, being of equal condition towards God, some are educated under their Parents in the Faith of Christ, and others are taken from them in their Childhood and educa∣ted in Mahometan Infidelity.

In a place, where true Religion is established, and the true knowledg of God is taught, two Females of equal condition may in their first Childhood be taken, the one into a most Religious Family, and there educated; the other into a house of common Whoordoms, and there educated. There are in∣numerable such instances of different Grace toward those, whose condition towards God antecedently was not different.
