The contrary opinion whereunto, this Author seemeth in this passage very strongly to savour of, but allegeth not one Father for the proof of it, to give us some document of his judicious ⟨p. 50⟩carriage in the survey of the Fathers which here he pretends to have been made by him, and that with very great ostentation; Yet I seem to be very well acquainted with the spirit that breatheth here; and I wonder the passages of the Ancients to this purpose (which yet I am persuaded are nothing to the purpose) are not collected out of Doctor Usher's discourse In causa Godaeschalci inscribed to Gerardus Vossius; and I doubt not but the issue will be this, that God is ready to give all men repentance in case they perform somewhat; and so the grace of repentance shall be given according to mens works, which was condemned 1200 years ago in the Synod of Palestine, and ever since accounted no better then flat Pelagianism. And which is worse then this, as that which stands in opposition to common sense, they will be driven to profess, that God is ready to give a reprobate repentance, in case he will repent, yea the very will to repent, in case he will repent. This desperate resolution I have already found by experience, and if I be not deceived, breathed by the very same spirit that breatheth here.
