An Answer to a Discourse of D. H. about predestination; By Dr. TWICE.
An Answer to a Discourse of D. H. about predestination; By Dr. TWISSE.
1. The reasons why our Divines fall upon the corrupt mass, as the object of 1predestination, is not only that which you allege (viz. because commiseration and dereliction presuppose the corrupt mass, &c.) but also, and much more rather, as I conceive, because the very last end of predestination being, as you acknowledge, the manifestation of Gods glory per modum misericordiae parcentis in some, per modum justitiae punientis in others, could not be intended without presupposition of sin. For neither could God possibly intend to spare any, nor justly intend to punish any, if he had not considered them as in a state of sin.
