THis Holy Council does further more declare, That the adult do take the be∣ginning of their justification from the grace of God which comes by Jesus Christ; that is, by his call, whereby they are call'd as being altogether un∣able in themselves; that, they that were strangers to God through Sin, by his quickning and assisting Grace, may be dispos'd to betake themselves to their own Justification, his Grace freely assenting and Working together with them So, that God inlightens the heart of Man by his holy Spirit, man himself being no actor therein, but receiving this inspiration as being only able to reject it, and not able of himself without Gods free grace to set himself to do justly in his sight: Whence it is that that saying of Scripture, Turn ye unto me, and I will be turned unto you, puts us in mind of our Choice; when we Make Answer; Turn us, O God, and we shall be turned. We acknowledge we are prevented by the Grace of God.
