1. That God commands by his Ministers many to believe and repent, whom he secretly purposeth shall never believe we willingly grant; like as he commanded Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, and yet secretly purposed that he should not sacrifice him. This is evident by the word of God, for both his command given to Abraham to this purpose is there expressed, as also his effectual hindering of Abraham, when he came to the point of sacrificing him; and look what God did, that he secretly purposed to to do: For he doth all things according to the counsel of his will Ephes. 1. 11. Only here is the difference, God commanding Abraham to sacrifice his Son, did positively hinder him from sacrificing Isaac, but God commanding all to hear the Gospel to believe, doth not hinder them from believing, when they are willing to believe. But only refuseth to give them that grace whereby alone their natural infidelity might be cured; according to those words of our Saviour, Ye therefore hear them (my words) not, because ye are not of God. John. 8. 47.
