Page 14. lin. 17, 18, 19 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. If Christs predestination and ours be considered, as touching the act of God predestinating, so the one is not the cause of the other; for the same thing cannot be the cause of it self: but by the same divine act both Christ and we are predestinated; therefore the predestination of Christ is not the cause of our predestination.
