1. Many of them do not maintain that infidelity is consequent to the decree of damnation, but in the foresight of God, precedent rather: as appears by the British Divines their Theses De Reprobatione; and Alvarez professeth the same. The denial of grace, and so the permitting of natural infidelity to remain uncured, they make consequent (as it seems) to a negative decree of denying glory. And to the decree of permitting infidelity, they make the foresight of infidelity subsequent; and this foresight of infidelity they make precedent to reprobation, as it signifies the decree of damnation. And thus far I agree with them, That in no moment of nature, or sign of reason did God ordain any man to damnation, but for sin; and consequently in no moment of nature, or sign of reason, did the decree of damnation go before the foresight of sin or infidelity.
