Lastly, however this point of unwillingness in some, to come to confer in the point of reprobation, might cast some colour of suspicion to the prejudicing of their cause; yet least of all did it become this Author to take advantage hereof, considering that it is his own case, as who declineth not one point only, but all the rest in this his discourse, and cleaves only to that of reprobation, nothing answerably (I presume) to *your expectation, who put this task upon him: and whether it be any thing answerable to the promise he made unto you, your self are best acquainted therewith. Yet because the Remonstrants hereupon (to wit, upon the Contra-Remonstrants declining this Controversy) have taken liberty to oppose the doctrine of the Contra-Remonstrants in this point, so far forth, as they made construction of their opinion hereupon, by their doctrine concerning election; therefore I will not spare even here, to digress so far, as to take notice what they delivered, and to address an answer hereunto, the rather because I find this discourse of theirs inserted in their Relation of that Conference at Hague.
