TWICE Consideration.
TWISSE Consideration.
The Conclusion here is very loose; the Arguments being thus; It is Gods will that all should be saved; therefore there is no absolute will, that many thousands of men shall never believe nor be saved: and the vanity of this consequence, I will show more ways then one.

1. The Apostle doth not say, It is the absolute will of God that all men shall be saved: nay Vossius interprets this place, and that according to the meaning of the Ancients, of voluntas conditionata, a conditional will in God, not absolute; and he gives instance 1of it thus; It is the will of God that all shall be saved, in case they believe in Christ. Now albeit it be the conditional will of God that all, and every one shall be saved in case they believe, yet this hinders not, but that it may be the absolute will of God, that many thousands of men shall never be saved; as in case his will be to deny the grace of faith and repentance to many thousands, as it is clear and undeniable that he doth.
