1Object. 6. He that calleth all, and yet will save but some only, dissembleth: God doth so: Therefore he dissembleth. Ans. Of mere particulars nought followeth. Or, there is a fallacy in putting that which is no cause, for a cause. Wherefore, to the Major we answer: He doth not do it to illude men: but either to leave all without excuse, or to invite them to repentance. And further, if you understand the Major generally, it is to be denied: because there may be another cause: and if it be so taken, it is thus to be distinguished; He that calleth all, and yet will save but some only, to illude men, or to deceive them, he dissembleth: if he call them indefinitely, or with a mind not willing to work in them to obey. But God never promised, that he would work this in all. Wherefore there is no contradiction in these propositions: All ought to do it, and, I will work in some to do it; because the same thing is not denied in the one, which is affirmed in the other: but a diverse thing.
