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.

Pag: 69, and Sub-sect: 4. In dealing on God's attribute of justice; After the Author had proposed his reasons which moved him to think that our doctrine of God▪s absolute decree is repugnant to God's justice; he proposeth our answers thereunto, which formerly were but two; but now are enlarged with the addition of a third. The first whereof is, for the form of it, changed throughout. The comparison of the ways of God with the mysterious attributes of God is changed, not only as touching the form, but as touching
