For when the Scripture saith, that God did whatsoever he would: it plainly teacheth, that he could have done much more if he would. And he which sayeth he will have mercy on whom he will, and he will harden whom he will, he showeth manifestly, that he could aswell have mercy on all, or harden all, as he can harden some, and have mercy on some: and therefore that he can have mercy on more then he will have mercy on: and so that: there are more things which he can do, then he will do.
For when the Scripture saith, that God did whatsoeuer he would: it plainely teacheth, that he could haue done much more if he would. And he which saieth hee will haue mercie on whome he will, and he will harden whome he will, he sheweth manifestly, that he could aswell haue mercie on all, or harden all, as he can harden some, and haue mercie on some: and therefore that hee can haue mercie on more then he will haue merdie on: and so that: there are more things which he can doe, then he will doe.
