And farther we prove this, both by clear evidence of Scripture, and clear evidence of reason, and thirdly by as clear a representation of their infatuation that oppose this doctrine, and particularly of the Author of this discourse.
And farther we prove this, both by cleare evidence of Scripture, and cleare evidence of reason, and thirdly by as cleare a representation of their infatuation that oppose this doctrine, and particularly of the Author of this discourse.
First by clear evidence of Scripture. Rom. 9. 11. Where the Apostle proves, that Election stands not of good works, by an argument drawn from the circumstance of the time, when that Oracle, The elder shall serve the younger, was delivered; together with the present condition of Jacob and Esau, answerable to that time; thus, Before the children were borne, or had done good or evil, it was said to Rebecca, The Elder shall serve the Younger, Therefore the purpose of God according to Election stands not of good works. Now look by what strength of reason the Apostle concludes this of Election, by the same strength of argumentation may I conclude of reprobation, in proportion, thus, Before the Children were borne, or had done Good or Evil, it was said to Rebecca The Elder shall serve the Younger; therefore the purpose of God according to reprobation, stands not of evil works: that is, like as good works are not the cause of Election, so evil works are not the cause of Reprobation, to wit, quoad actum reprobantis, as touching the very act and eternal decree of God it self.
