The foreknowledge of God, is that by which he most assuredly foreseeth all things that are to come. Act. 2.23. Him have ye taken by the hands of the wicked, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, and have crucified and slain. Rom. 8. Those things which he knew before, he also predestinated to be made like to the image of his son. This is not properly spoken of God, but by reason of men, to whom things are past or to come.
