3. By the same reason of yours I dispute thus:
1. God could not intend to bestow salvation upon any man by way of reward without supposition of that which is necessarily required to make him capable of reward. But the obedience of faith, repentance, and good works, is necessarily required to make a man capable of reward, Ergo, God could not intend to bestow salvation on any man by way of reward, without supposition of faith, repentance and good works.

2. As God cannot intend to punish any without consideration of that, which in justice is required to make him punishable: so God cannot intend to punish any in such a degree, without that which is required in justice to make him punishable in such a degree. Now not only sin original, but all actual sins of every Reprobate, together with their final impenitency therein, is required in justice to make every one of them punishable in such a degree; Ergo, could not God intend to punish any Reprobate in such a degree, without consideration of all their actual sins.

Now not onely sinne originall, but all actuall sinnes of every Reprobate, together with their finall impenitency therein, is required in justice to make every one of them punishable in such a degree; Ergo, could not God intend to punish any Reprobate in such a degree, without consideration of all their actuall sins.
