Gods free mercy to England presented as a precious and powerful motive to humiliationGods free mercy to England presented as a pretious and powerfull motive to humiliation

and whereas the ¹Apostle saith, that the wages of sin is death, he doth not add, the wages of grace is eternal life, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. It is not free will, but free grace that puts the difference between Jacob and Esau; It is not of him that ²willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. It is an excellent saying of Augustine, Timeo ego animae meae salutem ⟨p. 21⟩aliqua ex parte libero arbitrio committere, Jam afraid to commit the least Iota of my salvation to free will: and the same Father doth much and often commend a saying of Cyprian, In nullo gloriandum, quoniaem nostrum nihill est, We must glory in nothing, because nothing is ours. Bernard most sweetly, Horreo quicquid de meo est, ut sim meus, I abhor whatsoever is mine, that I may be mine. Bucer likewise hath these words, Si v•l tantillum boni a Deo non est, Deus non est, if the least beam of holiness be in us without the efficacious work of Gods grace, he is no longer a God. Now surely the act of assenting to the offer of grace, is the chief work of conversion; And the Arminians deny this to be effectually, inseparably, and inevitably from God, which is to ungod God, in the opinion of Bucer.
