TWICE Consideration.
TWISSE Consideration.
That God is true, we make no more doubt than that there is a God at all: and that God is as far from hypocrisy as hypocrites are far from him. They that beat their fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunken, we are taught shall have there portion with hypocrites: and we judge it impossible that God should cherish any such disposition in himself, which he so hates in others. But how God is made untrue and hypocritical in his dealings with men in all (or in any) matters, that concern their eternal estate by our doctrine of Reprobation, more than by our doctrine of election, it is a mystery unto me; whether we consider his commands, his offers of grace and glory, his threats, his passionate wishes and desires of mens chiefest good, and in his expostulations and commiserations also. But come we to examine how learnedly and judiciously this is carried throughout in the particulars.
