Seeing then that the Grace of God in the Gospel, is by that to be proffered to Sinners, as Sinners; as well to the Reprobate as the Elect; Is it possible for those who indeed are not Elect, to receive it, and be saved? Answered in the Negative. CHAP. XI. Seeing it is not possible that the Reprobate should receive this Grace and live, and also seeing this is infallibly fore-seen of God; and again, seeing God hath fore-determined to suffer it so to be; Why doth he yet will and command that the Gospel, and so Grace in the general Tenders thereof, should be proffered unto them? Answered, and cleared by five Reasons, and the Removing of three Objections.
