How necessary and advantageous the assurance of our being in the state of grace is
Resolving, whether hypocrites may not attain to some measure of practical knowledge in matters of religion?
Showing the difference between true assurance and presumption
Handling obedience as a sign of grace
That opposition against and abstinence from sin is a sign of grace
Love to the godly is a sign of grace
Gifts and parts in matters of religion, no sign of grace
Fully clearing that there may be affections and sweet motions of heart in holy things, which yet evidence not grace, nor accompany salvation
Manifesting that the greatest sufferings for Christ are not infallible evidences of grace
Showing that, and whence men have such strong persuasions of their exact keeping of God's law
External obedience to the law of God no sure evidence for heaven
That every peaceable frame of heart, and persuasion of God's love, is not a sure testimony of saving grace
That outward success, prosperity, and greatness in the world is no true evidence of grace
That a man's leaving those gross sins he hath lived in is no sign of grace
The difficulty, and in some sense impossibility of salvation notwithstanding the easiness which men fancy to themselves thereof
Showing what the new birth or regeneration is
Showing how ignorant men of great learning and outward righteousness in the world, may be of regeneration
The ground of the necessity of regeneration is the corruption of men's nature
Laying open the counterfeits of a new birth
Showing the necessity of the new creature
Showing the counterfeit of the new creature
Showing the causes of the senselessness, silence and stupidity of the consciences of most men
To undeceive men that think, though they live wickedly, yet they shall die happily
and how it comes to pass that men are so prone to deceive themselves
That ungodly friends and relations are great hindrances of one's conversion, with some helps or directions to those that are thereby kept in their sins
That conversion puts a man upon leaving his beloved sin; the reason of the difference of darling sins in men, and the signs by which a man may know his beloved sin
Showeth that all persons have need to turn unto God, and sets forth the true acceptable motive to repentance
Of turning not only from sin, but to God; and how many ways men may do the former, and not the latter; also, what it is to turn to God
That our turning to God must be with the whole heart; wherein hearty conversion consists, with the effects of it
That most of those that are called, come short of what is absolutely necessary; and who they be
A plea for strictness in religion
