The third reason why absolute Reprobation infringeth Gods justice is, because it will have him to punish men for the omission of an act, which is made impossible unto them by his own decree, not by that decree alone whereby he determined to give them no power to believe, having lost it, but by that decree also, by which he purposeth that we should partake with Adam in his sin, and be stripped of all that supernatural power, which we had by Gods free grant, bestowed upon us in Adam before the fall: These are my reasons which move me to think, that this absolute decree is repugnant to Gods justice.
