For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall go upon the breadth of the Land to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs. And, Jer. 19. 3. Behold I will bring a plague upon this place which whosoever heareth his ears shall •ingle. For seeing Gods laws are strange things unto them. Hos. 8. 12. God would bring such judgements upon them, that should be as strange unto them. And in the same phrase it is said that destruction is to the wicked, and strange punishment to the workers of iniquity. Job. 31. 3. Yet be this granted him, it is nothing to the purpose. For be it never so deer unto God, yet if he restraineth his chief mercy which consists in changing the heart (whereof this Author seems unwilling to take any distinct notice) only to the Elect, called accordingly in Scripture vessels of mercy, in distinction from vessels of wrath, which are the Reprobates, this nothing prejudiceth the absoluteness of reprobation.
