An instance of the same nature hath been given in this very Section and an answer thereunto accommodated in my refutation of M Hoard's discourse, which this Author could not be ignorant of, as appears by his altering and changing it almost throughout yet takes no notice thereof to reply thereunto, but keeps himself as still as a sow in beans, thinking it his safest course to be silent. The truth is, God (we say) bestowing salvation and inflicting damnation proceeds according to a law, which he hath given unto man: but not so in the giving or denying grace, not so in showing mercy on some and hardening others, but according to the mee•e pleasure of his will. It were far more congruous to accommodate the instances he gives to the divine proceedings in this particular. But here he dares not budge, least his Pelagian spirit should be manifested to all the world, in maintaining that not only in conferring salvation, and inflicting damnation, he proceeds according to mens works, but also in giving and denying grace.
