6 How euerlasting life is giuen vnto vs.
EVerlasting life is giuen vnto vs by the holy Ghost,* 1.1 and the holy Ghost giueth it vs in this life by the ministerie of the word; by the worde he worketh in vs the knowledge of God and his wil: This knowledge hath following it a study and desire more and more to know God, and to liue accor∣ding to the prescript of his will. It is giuen heere vnto in∣fants, so that they haue an inclination to repentaunce and faith. But the consummation and accomplishment of euer∣lasting life shal be giuen vs after this life immediately. Now that it is heere giuen vs mediately by the woorde, is prooued by plaine testimonies of Scripture. John. 6.68. Whither shall wee goe? (say the Disciples) Thou hast the words of life. 1. Corint. 4.15 Jn Christ Jesus J haue begotten you through the gospel. Rom. 116. The gospell is the power of God vnto saluation to euerie one that beleeueth. And this is the ordinarie manner of giuing vs this beginning of euerlasting life, namely by the woord mediately. But there is another maner of giuing the same vnto infants, and by miracles.
