Some hold that the whole business of the order of Intention is utterly beyond our reach: And therefore that we should meddle only with the order of Execution: Thus saith the most judicious Bishop Davenant soundly, Dissert. de Praedest. & Reprob. cap. 9. pag. 209. Haec argumentatio (Corvini) vocat nos ad speculationem valde difficilem & dogmaticae Theologiae fundandae minime accommodatam. Nititur enim consideratione Prioritatis & Posterioritatis in illis duobus Voluntatis Divinae decretis de dando Mediatore & de Electis servandis, quae utraque ab aeterno fuere concepta & constituta. Ad me quod attinet, scio ordinem Executionis, secundum quem Deus voluit beneficia ad homines pervenire, nullo negotio poss• delineari: At quo ordine Deus consignata ea tenuit ab aeterno in meant ac voluntate sua, is solus enarrare praesumat, qui se Deo ab arcanis & aternu consiliis etiam affirmare audeat.
