Reprobation asserted, or, The doctrine of eternal election & reprobation promiscuously handled in eleven…

For thus the Elect considereth: Though we all came alike into the World, and are the Children of Wrath by Nature; yea, though we have alike so weakened our selves by sin, that the whole Head is sick, and the whole Heart faint, being altogether gone out of the way, and every one become altogether unprofitable, both to God and our selves; Yet that God should open mine Eyes, convert my Soul, give me Faith, forgive my Sins; raise me, when I fall; fetch me again, when I am gone astray; this is wonderful! Yea, that he should prepare eternal Mansions for me, and also keep me by his blessed and mighty Power for that; and that in a way of believing, which without his assistance I am no way able to perform! That he should do this notwithstanding my Sins, though I had no Righteousness! Yea, that he should do it according to the Riches of his Grace, through the Redemption that is in Jesus Christ our Lord! Even according to an everlasting Covenant of Grace, which yet the greatest part of the World are void of, and will for ever miss and fall short off! Besides, that he should mollify my Heart! break it, and then delight in it; put his Fear in it, and then look to me, and keep me as the Apple of his Eye; yea, resolve to guide me with his Counsel, and then receive me to Glory! Further, that all this should be the effect of unthought-of, undeserved, and undesired Love! That the Lord should think on this before he made the World, and sufficiently ordain the means before he had laid the foundation of the Hills! For this he is worthy to be praised: Yea, Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord; Praise ye the Lord. Ephes. 2.1, 2, 3. Rom. 3.9. Isa. 1.5. Rom. 3.12. Psal. 23.6. & 37.23. 2 Cor. 5.5.
