The IIII. error.
The IIII. errour.
Gods calling to the knowledge of the Gospel is universal, yea of all men and every singular person, without exception.
Gods calling to the knowledge of the Gospell is vniuersall, yea of all men and euery singular person, without exception.
The Confutation.
This is a very unreasonable position. Reasons. I. God would not have all men called, Math. 20.16. Many are called, but few are chosen. He saith not that all, but many are called. Christ in his Disciples first embassy, chargeth them that they should not preach to the Gentiles of his coming: and to the Canaanitish woman he saith, It is not lawful to give that which is holy unto dogs. Mat. 13.11. It is not given to every one to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God.
