so it will be more quietly carried, so it will be more free from alien discourse; so each party shall have time both duly to weigh the Adversaries Argument and with due consideration to put in his answer thereunto; And is it not far more decent that the holy things of God should be handled premeditately, rather then subitaneously? Fifthly, what if Beza were of opinion that God hath chosen some unto eternal life, and passed by others without any respect had to the personal goodness of the one, or naughtiness of the other, and that this is Saint Paul's doctrine, Rom: 9. This was Saint Austin's opinion also as Vossius acknowledgeth in his history of Pelagian heresies p. 655. Now will any man think him well in his wits who discourseth after this manner; surely Austin's doctrine concerning election and reprobation is suspectable of untruth; Because Beza maintaining the same doctrine some 1200 years after, was unwilling to come to a trial thereabouts at a certain time in a certain place, namely at Mompelgard before the Duke of Wirtenberg? Lastly, observe the strange inconsiderations of this Author; for the Author of the former discourse promised the Gentleman his friend to whom he wrote, to give him the reason of his change in opinion, not in this point only of reprobation, but in the other points also, for he perceived he was become an Arminian: Now whereas he gives him the reason of his change in one point only, declining all the rest, doth he not manifest his unwillingness to deal on all the other 4 points? And may not we conclude after this Authors manner, that this betrays no small suspicion, that certainly his cause is weak and ill grounded in all the rest? In like manner doth this Achates carry himself, he that helps of the other to make his task for him. It is his usual course to deal only upon the point of reprobation, as in this place; so in a writing of his to a certain Scholar, and as I have seen under his hand; It seems he is well conceited of his sufficiency on this point: And truly I am very glad to see what he can say for himself, even on the point of reprobation That which follows is to little purpose, save to show the plerofphorie of his common place-book: and how easily it is for him to abound, not only in things necessary, but in things unnecessary also:
