Quest. VII.

Whether a weake Beleever may not warrantably apply some Pro∣mise to himselfe as given by God, although he doth not yet discerne his Interest in it by the Broad Seale of the Spirit.

Answer.

A weake Beleever may warrantably apply some Promise to him∣selfe, and may have it also given him of God, even whilest he is yet waiting for it, before he can discerne his Interest in the Pro∣mise, by the Witnesse of the Spirit it selfe: For the Soule that waiteth for Christ, may come to see and know (by his renewed knowledge) that he doth waite; and may from thence conclude, that he on whom he waiteth, will not absent himselfe for ever.
