your selues, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? Yet notwithstanding they are not forthwith, to bee thought repro∣bates, whosoeuer are not yet effectually called, or whosoeuer also after calling, do fal into great sins.
Wherefore the right examination and tryal of our selues con∣sisteth in this, that euerie one should descend into himselfe, tho∣roughly trie, and examine himselfe.
1. Whether hee bee truely grieued for sinnes committed.
2. Whether hee doth truely beleeue in Christ the pacifier of Gods wrath for sins.
3. Whether he hath an earnest purpose afterward, to auoid sins, hatred, lust, gluttonie, & the like, and to liue righteously & holily that so he may shewe himselfe thankfull to God.
