Others not elected, although they may be called by the ministry of the Word, and may have some common operations of the Spirit,⁠¹⁠ yet not being effectually drawn by the Father, they neither will nor can truly come to Christ, and therefore cannot be saved:⁠²⁠ much less can men that do not receive the Christian religion be saved; be they never so diligent to frame their lives according to the light of nature and the law of that religion they do profess.⁠³⁠
