714. Is not all this doctrine from these men cited conformable to the doctrine of the Synod of Dort? Who in the conclusion name many positions which they and all the Reformed Churches with them do, toto pect•re detestari, abhor with all their hearts: Among which one is, Deum n••• puroque Voluntatis arbitrio, absque omni peccati ullius respectu vel intuit•, maximam mundi partem ad aeternam damnationem praedestinasse & crease.

And it is much to be noted, that in conclusion they desire all men to judge of the Doctrine of the Reformed Churches, not by Calumnies, nor by the Private sayings of some Doctors, ancient or later, but by the public Confessions of the Churches, and by the Declaration of this Synod. Therefore not by the extremes of Beza, Piscator, Spanhms, Twice and Rutherford; but by what the Articles of the Churches subscribed by the Pastors do contain. Otherwise we shall be far more foolish than the Papists, who will not expose their Church to obloquy or division by standing to the sayings of Alvarez or Molina, or any private Doctor whosoever.
