5. Whereas you argue, that if election presuppose original sin, it presupposeth 1actual sins also. I answer, it follows not: For though God hath decreed to free his elect from all their actual sins, as well as from their original, yet he hath not done it by one and the same decree: But first he hath resolved to free them from that general curse, and malediction, whereto they were obnoxious in Adam, and this is included in their very election; afterward he hath resolved to purge them also from all their actual sins, which they shall commit by the effectual application of Christs merit, and this is by another decree consequent upon their election, being one of his decrees de mediis.
5. Whereas you argue, that if election presuppose originall sinne, it presupposeth 1actuall sinnes also. I answer, it followes not: For though God hath decreed to free his elect from all their actuall sinnes, as well as from their originall, yet he hath not done it by one and the same decree: But first he hath resolved to free them from that generall curse, and malediction, whereto they were obnoxious in Adam, and this is included in their very election; afterward he hath resolved to purge them also from all their actuall sinnes, which they shall commit by the effectuall application of Christs merit, and this is by another decree consequent upon their election, being one of his decrees de mediis.

Resp. Herein you carry your self like a right Scholar, in making way out though it be a new way. As if the decree of freeing from Original sin, were a different 1decree from the decree of freeing from sins actual, and before it. And albeit the actual sins of Gods elect are many and much different, some committed before their calling, and for many years, some committed after their calling, throughout the whole course of their lives, yet you can be content to make the decree of God in freeing from all these, to be but one decree; only the decrees of freeing from actual, and from original sins must be different decrees.
