But the answer of the Apostle to the objection propounded, cleareth the whole matter; For, as a man would justify the severe proceedings of a Master of a College, in refusing to elect an unworthy person, and in stead thereof expelling him the College by pleading, first, the liberty or authority of his negative voice: Secondly, the desert of the person refused and expelled. So the Apostle beateth down the insolency of the objection, and pleadeth the justice of Gods proceedings against Reprobates hated and hardened, from, first, the Sovereignty of God over his creature, ver. 20, 21. secondly, the due deserts of persons being vessels of wrath, and fitted for destruction, ver. 22.
