Pag: 67. Sub-Sect: 2: concerning God's justice there is a passage inserted out of M. Perkins, but it is of no more moment then the rest. In the same sub-section, the three causes why reprobates cannot in justice be bound to believe, are much changed from that they were in M. Hoard's discourse, sent unto his friend, which Copy was sent unto me. Yet upon better consideration I find it is not so much changed, as at first sight I conceived. The order of the two first reasons is changed; only in the first here some similes of exaggeration are wanting, which are not wanting in the second of M. Hord's.
Pag: 67. Sub-Sect: 2: concerning God's justice there is a passage inserted out of M. Perkins, but it is of no more moment then the rest. In the same sub-section, the three causes why repobates cannot in justice be bound to believe, are much changed from that they were in M. Hord's discourse, sent unto his freind, which Copy was sent unto me. Yet upon better consideration I find it is not so much changed, as at first sight I conceived. The order of the two first reasons is changed; only in the first here some similies of exageration are wanting, which are not wanting in the second of M. Hord's.
The second here is most altered. For whereas in M. Hoard's first discourse which he tendered to a Friend of his, the reason ran thus; Because it is God's will they shall not believe; To wit, in our opinion it is altered here thus, from an affirmative to a negative, It is not God's unfeigned will they shall believe; Yet himself lays the same thing to our charge in an affirmative manner pag: 78: treating of God's truth sub-sect: 2: the very last words which I answer apart, all that page almost not being found in M. Hoard's first discourse. The words are these, Can God speak thus to Reprobates, who by his own decree shall never repent? &c. And in this very place at length he riseth to this affirmative, thus, It may rather be said, it is God's unfeigned will they shall not believe, because it is his will they shall want power to believe. So that I need not to trouble my self with adding any farther answer to this, more then I have to M. Hoard and to that page 78 concerning God's truth, Sub-sect: 3.
