Last of all, Solomon you know upon Davids admonition on his death bed, entertained an intention to bring Shimei to his grave in blood, yet not for his cursing of David, but for a new transgression; therefore he takes a course to ensnare him, and bids him to build him an house in Jerusalem, and not to pass over the Brooke Kidron upon pain of death. Now it was not indeed in Solomons power effectually to ensnare him, and so certainly to bring upon him the execution of death: But this is in the power of God; For let him but expose any creature unto temptation, and derelinquish him therein, without giving him his grace to support him, that creature shall certainly fall into sin, otherwise if any creature can keep himself from sin without Gods grace, then Gods grace shall not have the prerogative of being the cause of every good action; But this prerogative of Gods grace must and by Gods grace shall be maintained unto the end. And upon this foundation the prerogative of his sovereign power also over his creatures in disposing of them as he thinks good, and making some vessels of mercy and some of wrath, which Arminius himself professeth he dares not deny to be in the power of God, to wit, to make vessels of mercy and vessels of wrath, and that ex massa nondum condita, in his Analysis of the ninth to the Romans.
Last of all, Solomon you know upon Davids admonition on his death bed, entertained an intention to bring Shimei to his grave in bloud, yet not for his cursing of David, but for a new transgression; therefore he takes a course to ensnare him, and bids him to build him an house in Jerusalem, and not to passe over the Brooke Kidron upon paine of death. Now it was not indeed in Solomons power effectually to ensnare him, and so certainely to bring upon him the execution of death: But this is in the power of God; For let him but expose any creature unto temptation, and derelinquish him therein, without giving him his grace to support him, that creature shall certainely fall into sinne, otherwise if any creature can keepe himselfe from sinne without Gods grace, then Gods grace shall not have the prerogative of being the cause of every good action; But this prerogative of Gods grace must and by Gods grace shall be maintained unto the end. And upon this foundation the prerogative of his soveraigne power also over his creatures in disposing of them as he thinkes good, and making some vessells of mercy and some of wrath, which Arminius himselfe professeth he dares not deny to be in the power of God, to wit, to make vessells of mercy and vessells of wrath, and that ex massa nondum condita, in his Analysis of the ninth to the Romans.
