First, what is this witness or testimony of our spirit? What is the testimony of God's Spirit? And how does he bear witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God?
Second, how is this joint testimony of God's Spirit and our own clearly and solidly distinguished from the presumption of a natural mind, and from the delusion of the devil?
