3. Concerning the Decrees of God.
That God hath unchangeably decreed in himself from everlasting, ⟨p. 35⟩touching all things, great and small, necessary, contingent, and voluntary, with all the circumstances of them, to work, and dispose them according to the counsel of his own will (yet without being Author of, or having fellowship with the sins of any) to the praise and glory of his great name. And touching the eternal estate of men, that God hath according to his most wise, free, and unchangeable purpose in himself, before the foundation of the world, chosen some in Jesus Christ to eternal life, to the praise and glory of his grace, and rejected or reprobated others to the praise of his justice.
