1 Some are from everlasting, not to everlasting: as Gods eternal decrees; which have an end in their determined time, but had no beginning. So God before all worlds determined the sending of his Son to dye for us: but he came in the fullness of time, saith the Apostle. This decree had no beginning; 1it had an ending.
1 Some are from euerlasting, not to euerlasting: as Gods eternal decrees; which haue an end in their determined time, but had no beginning. So God before all worlds determined the sending of his Son to dye for vs: but hee came in the fulnesse of time, saith the Apostle. This decree had no beginning; 1it had an ending.
- 1Acts 2, 23. Galath. 4, 4.

2. Some are to euerlasting, not from euerlasting: as Angels, and mens Soules; which had a beginning in time, but shall neuer end; because they are created of an immortall nature.

For he is an uncreated, and eternal subsistence: Alpha, and Omega; that first, and last; that had neither beginning, nor shall have ending. Whom Plato called [Greek or Hebrew]; and he calls himself to Moses, [Greek or Hebrew]. That was, that is, and that is to come; the same for ever.
