1. When you say, first he hath resolved to free them from original sin, and afterwards he hath resolved to purge them from actual sins, I doubt your meaning is no more but this, God hath resolved first to free them from original sin, and afterwards to purge them from actual sins. And my reason is, because many times I have observed speeches to ran thus, when the meaning hath been but so as I have expressed. But I will manifest, that in the execution, freeing from malediction in Adam, and purging from actual sins go together: much less can they differ in intention; which I prove thus: No man is delivered from the malediction, whereto he was obnoxious in Adam, but by faith in Christ, he is therewithal freed from all his actual sins committed before his calling: Therefore seeing they are at once freed from malediction in Adam, and from many actual sins, it followeth that God did intend at once thus to free them; and how could this be done by different decrees, one going before another?

And my reason is, because many times I have observed speeches to ranne thus, when the meaning hath beene but so as I have expressed.

2. Now I will prove, that God did at once intend to free from all sins, both actual and original, though he did not intend, that this should be done at once; Forasmuch as actual sins are committed successively, one a long time after another.
