2. We deny this Consequence; and call in no meaner name then Arminius himself to bear us out in this our denial. Who expressly professeth, That in case God permits a man, Veil peccatum, necesse est ut nullo argumentorum genere persuadeatur ad nolendum. Exam. pag. 153.

Arminius likewise professeth faith and repentance, Nisi Deo dante haberi non posse. Exam. 57. and that both of them are denied to the reprobates by the decree of reprobation. See his own words, At Deus statuit decreto reprobationis reprobis fidem & paenitentiam non dare. Concedo lubens, illam assumptionem, sed rectè intellectam: He laboureth to charm this inconvenient grant of his, but no charm will serve to keep this adder, from stinging and wounding their doctrine of reprobation unto death. He saith, Faith is given by way of suasion. We say, that matters nothing; for so it be given by God wheresoever it be found, and so it be denied to reprobates by the decree of reprobation, we desire no more. We our selves acknowledge, that faith is not given to the elect, but by way of suasion, the Word working faith, running in this manner; Repent and believe the Gospel; and whosoever believeth shall be saved. For God hath set forth his Son to be a Propitiation for our sins, through faith in his blood.
