Answer.
Well, a man or a woman may do all this, and yet come short of this convincing work of the Spirit which is in order to Salvation. Therefore consider further, I pray, for as you heard the last time, usually when the Spirit doth convince of sin in order to Salvation, it convinceth the soul especially of unbelief; and indeed till a Soul come to be convinced by the Spirit of the sin of unbe∣lief, his conviction of sin may be no argument to him that the Spirit hath been at work upon his heart in order to salvation. Indeed when a soul comes to that discovery, that the soul is con∣vinced of the evil of unbelief, then there is the greatest hopes that such a Soul is not like to mis∣carry; for I am perswaded, that the Spirit of the Lord never convinces a Soul of the evil of unbe∣lief, but it is in order to his salvation; you shall never have a carnal heart to understand the evil of unbelief, that is the work of the Spirit of God. Now consider, I pray, hath the Lord discovered
