To these speeches let me add that of Remigius Arch-bishop of Lyons, who, to Rabanus Arch-bishop of 1Mentz, objecting that Saint Austin wrote a book called Hipognosticon against Pelagius and Coelestius, wherein he denied that Reprobates were properly praedestinati ad interitum, predestinate to destruction, answereth, that Saint Austin said not so (but some other man) as it is supposed to purge the Church of calumny, which some ill affected ones did cast upon it; namely that it taught that God by his predestination did impose upon men a necessity of perishing, and did withdraw the word (Predestination) from the point of Reprobates, and gave it only to the Elect, and so gave great occasion of further Error and mistake; In this speech of his, it is clearly implied that it was the constant Doctrine of the Church then, that Reprobates lye under no necessitating Decree of Perdition.
