2. As to the second; it is untrue that any such thing followeth as this Author pretendeth, namely, that two contrary wills shall be found in God; For first there is no contrariety in the wills here shaped by the Author himself; thus, many shall be damned, ⟨p. 115⟩and those, many may be saved. As for the word irrevocable, wherewith this Author stuffs his proposition, that is no attribute of damnation, or the manner thereof, but rather of Gods decrees; wherein still he proceeds and spares not to foam out his own shame, desiring to make Gods decrees of a revocable nature.

1. Applied to Gods commandment, joined with a will not to give grace to obey his commandment, thus, it's Pharaohs duty to let Israel go; Tis not Gods will that Pharaoh shall let Israel go, for he meaneth to harden his heart to the contrary.
