2 Analogy from other Eternal Purposes of God, gives a Demonstration hereof. The Eternal Purposes of the divine Will, for the Creation of the World out of Nothing; left that Nothing, as very nothing as ever, until an Act of Almighty Power gave (in the beginning) Existence, and Being to the things, that are seen. Things have their certain Fructurition, not instant actual Existence from the Eternal Purposes of God, concerning them.

3 The Scripture plainly placeth all men in the same ⟨p. 48⟩State and Condition before Conversion, and Reconciliation. We have proved, That Jews, and Gentiles are all under sin, Rom. 3. 9, 10. So every mouth is stopped, and all the World is become guilty before God. verse 19. All being by nature, Children of wrath: Eph. 2. 3. The Condition of all in Unregeneracy, is really one, and the same. Those who think it is a mistaken Apprehension in the Elect to think so, are certainly too much mistaken in that Apprehension. He that believeth not the Son, the wrath of God abideth on him, Joh. 3. 36. If the mis-apprehension be, as as they say it is, Unbelief, it leaves them, in whom it is, under the wrath of God.
