But now they cannot be justly bound to believe if they be absolute and inevitable Reprobates, for three causes.
1. Because it is Gods will that they shall not believe; and it appears to be so, because it is his peremptory will that they shall have no power to believe; for its a Maxim in Logic, that Qui vult aliquid in causâ, vult effectum ex ista causa necessario profluentem: No man will say that it is Gods serious will, that such a man shall live, when it is his will, that he shall not have the concourse of his providence, and the act of preservation▪ now will any say (that forget not themselves) that God doth unfeignedly will that those men shall believe, whom he will not furnish with necessary power to believe. Now if it be Gods will, that absolute reprobates shall in no wise believe, they cannot in justice be tied to believe. For no man is bound to an act against Gods peremptory will.
