That profound and dark Mystery of Election and Reprobation, ⟨p. 45⟩why God should choose one and leave another? Why God should love Jacob and hate Esau? Why the one should become [Greek or Hebrew], and the other [Greek or Hebrew]? Why first the Jews should be a Church, and the Gentiles (Aliens) should afterward be adopted into the Covenant, and the Jews broken off and cast out? That God should break open the heart of a rebellious sinner by efficacious Grace, and deny sufficient aid to one that hath improved his present strength far better? With all other the dark, profound Mysteries of Gods Decrees, shall then be made glasses. And lastly, That mystery of wickedness and abominations, and why God hath suffered him so long to reign, and to usurp so great a part of Christs purchased and promised possessions, with all his witchcrafts and sorceries, whereby he hath deceived the Nations, they shall all be discovered and brought to light, to his eternal shame and confusion? That God should shine out only upon some few spots of ground with the light of the Gospel, and shut up the rest in palpable darkness,
