M. GOODWIN.
Therefore if there be any secret, or revealed will of God, whereby he willeth the destruction of any man, at the same time when he willeth the salvation of all men, (be it with what kind of will soever) these two wills must needs interfere and contradict one the other.
THerefore if there be any secret, or revealed will of God, whereby he willeth the destruction of any man, at the same time when he willeth the salvation of all men, (be it with what kind of will soever) these two wills must needs enterfeere and contradict one the other.

This you gather from what you have not at all proved, but only pretended to have proved, viz. that the precept or injunction of faith and repentance, is properly the will of God. And for the contrary I have brought undeniable proofs, and therefore though there be any secret or unrevealed will in God, whereby he willeth the destruction of any man, at the same time, when he willeth or enjoineth his faith and repentance, those two wills do not as you say interfere or contradict one the other. For unto contradiction it is required, that all the terms must be taken in the same sense and signification; now this condition is not here observed: For that he willeth the destruction of any man, is with a will in proper speech, that he willeth the faith and repentance of all men, unto whom the Gospel is preached, is with a will improperly so called, viz, his commandment.
