2 Peter1:10
Verſe 10. Give diligence] Say not here as Antipater King of Macedony did, when one preſented him a book treating of happineſſe, [non-Latin text not transcribed], I am not at leiſure. But do this one thing neceſſary, with all expedition.
Your calling and election] We muſt not go (ſaith one) to the univerſity of election,T. C[illegible: 1 letter] on Coloſ. before we have been at the grammar-ſchool of Vocation: Firſt, we are to begin below at our ſanctification, before we can climbe to the top of Gods counſell, to know our election.
Sure] Some copies have it, Sure by good works: and indeed theſe ſettle the ſoul, 1 Cor. 15.58. as a ſtake, the more it is ſtruck into the ground, the faſter it ſticks.
Ye ſhall never fall] Stumble ye may: but he that ſtumbles and fals not, gets ground.
