That of the Hen, though we give him liberty to amplify her natural affections, as one of the most affectionate Females among unreasonable creatures, yet doth it nothing profit him for it represents Gods love appropriated to his Children, which nothing prejudiceth the absoluteness of his power reprobating others. Nay rather as it justifies his absoluteness in electing them, if we consider the mere grace of God to have made the difference, as the Scripture showeth. Deut. 7. 7. The Lord loved you because he loved you; and Deut. 9. at large he beats them out of all conceit of any righteousness in them, moving the Lord to plant them in the Land of Canaan; so by consequent it justifies the Doctrine of absolute reprobation also: for as much as the Apostle professeth, that like as God hath mercy on whom he will, so also he hardeneth whom he will. Yet here is much matter made of the Hen; like as D. Jackson hath done it before him, but he betrays no such authority for it out of Austin as this Author doth: to whom he is beholding for it, himself best knoweth; If the pedigree be enquired into, their conceits may be found to be of kin; yet give me leave to say somewhat of this similitude also.
