2. My second argument is, Therefore God gives faith because he did predestinate them; As many believed as were ordained to everlasting life; and God added daily to the Church 1such as should be saved. [Greek or Hebrew] in this place is as much as, [Greek or Hebrew]; as appears by the equipollency of both sentences. Now hence I infer; Therefore God gives not faith because he hath not ordained them to everlasting life. For if the affirmation be cause of the affirmation; the negation is cause of the negation. And the Scripture as ordinarily subjoineth the denial of grace to reprobation, as the granting of grace to predestination. For as [Greek or Hebrew], such as perish, is opposite to [Greek or Hebrew], such as shall be saved; ⟨p. 155⟩And as the consequent of the one is said to be Faith; so the consequent to the other is the denial of the same or like grace. As for example, All they that are of God hear God's 2word; so others hear them not because they are not of God; as [Greek or Hebrew], Such as shall be saved are added to God's Church: so in whom is the Gospel hid? only [Greek or Hebrew], in them that perish. Among whom doth Antichrist prevail by all deceivableness? only in them that perish. Like as for the Elect on the contrary 'tis not possible they should be seduced. Mat: 24. 24, and 2 Thes: 2. 13

And the Scripture as ordinarily subjoyneth the deniall of grace to reprobation, as the granting of grace to predestination. For as , such as perish, is opposite to , such as shall be saved;
