Nay the Scripture to him seemed so evidently to make for us (which I desire every wise Reader well to observe) that this drave him to such a sluttish shift, as to except against our interpretations of Scripture ⟨p. 154⟩upon no other ground but this, that the Doctrine confirmed thereby is not consonant to the understanding of men purged from prejudice and false principles, corrupt affections and customs, in the designing of what is just, and what is unjust; And let every indifferent man judge whether this be not a desperate course, carrying with it a secret acknowledgement that the Scripture indeed doth favour the way we take in the Doctrine of predestination and reprobation.
