B. 1. Relations and Privations have their Causes, and so hath Sin. 2. Else man cannot be condemned for causing it. The Synod of Dort and Reformed Churches teach no such Doctrine: But it •• such as you that tempt the Arminians to revile them, and say, that you describe God in the shape of the Devil, and much worse, as loving and causing sin and misery more than he: that so the love of God may be extinguished.
C. I think we must leave these Mysteries to God.
B. But, good Brother, though I have stopped your mouth and censures of your Brethren, in this and such matters, do you expect that every •onest Christian must be able to discuss all your Logical Fallacies, or else go with you for unsound and heterodox? And have you dealt fairly by the Church of God, to borrow from the School-men such snares for mens Consciences? And must every man be persuaded that God is the greatest lover and willer from eternity of every wicked Act, that is not able to answer your smoky Sophisms about futurition and its eternal cause, with such like. I tell you the Serpent hath beguiled us as Eve, and turned men from the simplicity that is in Christ.
