As for Arminius his ordering of Gods decrees in opposition to these ways taken by our Divines, that he hath communicated unto us, in the Declaration of his opinion before the States, pag 47. where leaving out the decree of creating mankind in Adam, and the decree of permitting all mankind to fall in Adam, he takes into consideration only, the divine decrees of saving sinful man.

1. The first whereof is, Whereby he decreed to make his Son Christ a Mediator, Redeemer, Saviour, Priest and King, by his death to abolish sin, by his obedience to obtain Salvation (formerly lost) and by his power to communicate it. And this decree he saith is absolute.

2. The second is, Whereby he decreed to receive into grace such as believe and repent, and those persevering unto the end, to save in Christ, for and by Christ: but such as believe and repent not, to leave under sin and wrath, and to damn as alien from Christ. Where observe, 1. This decree of saving such as believe and repent, he calleth a decree absolute, yet this decree passeth upon no particular persons: such a decree is reserved for the last place. 2. God (with him) receives none into grace and favour, unless they believe and repent: Whereby it is manifest, that with him faith and repentance are no fruits of Gods grace and favour: for they must be performed before they are received into Gods grace and favour.
