2. I come to the second opinion; and as for the great inconveniences which here is pretended, that the Authors thereof desire to decline. I have answered hereunto upon, the Treatise of M. Hord, and showed that not so much to decline inconveniences have some embraced this way, as rather because this way seems to be more familiar and plain, and chiefly because the formal Notions of the particulars of the Decrees of Election and Reprobation, the one in the General seeming to be a work of mercy, the other of Justice, seem to suppose a consideration of man in the state of misery.
