He vaunts that he hath proved reprobation absolute to be unjust, when he hath performed no thing less; But making only a great crack, he goes out like a squib; and throughout meddles not with one argument that our Divines bring out of Scripture, or reason to justify their doctrine concerning the absoluteness of reprobation. And it is apparent ⟨p. 156⟩that he denies the absoluteness of election, as well as the absoluteness of reprobation, and consequently must necessarily maintain that grace is given according to works; whereupon it was that Austin grounded his doctrine concerning the absoluteness of Predestination: And upon the like ground have we as good cause to ground our doctrine concerning the absoluteness of reprobation, it being every way as evident, that Grace is not denied according unto works, as that it is not granted according to mens works; And the Scripture is equally as express concerning both, where it is said that as God hath mercy on whom he will, so also whom he will he hardeneth.
