Behold, how he calleth them here, the one Vessels to Honour, Vessels of Mercy, prepared unto Glory; the other, vessels to dishonour, vessels of wrath, framed for destruction: which self-same phrase Vessels to Honour, and to shame, or dishonour, he keepeth also in the Epistle to ^pTIMOTHY: Now in a great house there are not only Vessels of Gold, and Vessels of Silver, but of Wood also, and of Earth, and some verily for Honour, some for dishonour. This shall yet further appear, if we cast our eye unto those means, whereby this predestinate Decree of God is brought unto effect: for sith it is manifest, that some believe the Gospel, and testify the same by the fruits of their conversation, other are obstinate and stubborn, and given up to their lusts, blinded with infidelity and hardness of heart; thereof we may conclude, that some are ordained ⟨p. 290⟩unto life, other unto destruction.
