Edwardsian possibilities: it could be that there is a quick inference from the beauty and glory of the gospel to its truth; it could be that such belief is uninferred, but directly consequent, according to the design plan, upon perception of the beauty and glory of the gospel; and it could be that perception of the beauty of the gospel induces admiration and delight, which induces belief.
