3. Of Mans Conversion unto God.

The Grace of God is not given no man by Jesus Christ, to no other end,* but that thereby he might the more easily divert himself in the ways of Godliness, and conse∣quently merit and obtain eternal life, which otherwise he might do without any such Grace, by his own free will, though with more difficulty and trouble. And therefore if any man shall say, that without the preventing Inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and his heavenly Influences, a man is able to even hope, love, or repent, as he ought to do, that so he may be justified in the sight of God: let him be Anathema.
