34 Although God predestinating be not under time, yet men predestinated are under time. Wherefore seeing the holy Spirit perpetually in the Scriptures saith; that God hath predestinated us, and that before the world was made, and not to predestinate ⟨p. 319⟩we do duly conclude, That Predestination was determined from all eternity.
34 Although God praedestinating be not vnder time, yet men praedestinated are vnder time. Wherefore seeing the holy Spirit perpetually in the Scriptures saith; that God hath praedestinated vs, and that before the world was made, and not to praedestinate ⟨p. 319⟩we do duly conclude, That Praedestination was determined from all aeternity.
