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 ⟨p. 151⟩the matter; here is no pleading for a reasonable service of God, as there was.
Pag: 69, and Sub-sect: 4. In dealing on God's attribute of justice; After the Authour had proposed his reasons which moved him to thinke 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 inlarged with the addition of a third. The first whereof is, for the forme of it, changed throughout.

His making man's understanding purged from prejudice and false principles, as it was proposed there, purged from prejudices, corrupt affections, and customs, as it is proposed, to be the Tribunal, according to whose judgment interpretations of Scripture concerning what is just in the courses of God must be allowed or disallowed, I have sufficiently canvased there; Let the Reader be pleased to turn to it, and compare my answer to this Sub-section, and observe how little spirit he had, so much as to question against any one piece of my answer. Here he adds a reason of his former uncouth paradox, to wit that, Justice in men and God are for substance but one, and the same thing, though different in degree, as the greater and lesser light. I have sufficiently profligated this in the first Section concerning God's attributes. For this very rule he premiseth in general to the ensuing discourse of his, most congruously; wild premises and grounds to wild discourses.
