Theomachia autexousiastikē
Theomachia autexousiastikē: or, A display of Arminianism. Being a discovery of the old Pelagian idol free-will, with the new goddess contingency, advancing themselves, into the throne of the God of heaven to the prejudice of his grace, providence, and supreme dominion over the children of men. Wherein the main errors of the Arminians are laid open, by which they are fallen off from the received doctrine of all the reformed churches, with their opposition in divers particulars to the doctrine established in the Church of England. Discovered out of their own writings and confessions, and confuted by the Word of God. / By John Owen, Master of Arts of Queens College in Oxon.Theomachia autexousiastikē: or, A display of Arminianisme.

aInfants are simply in that estate, in which Adam was, before his fall, saith Venator:b Neither is it all considerable, whether they be the children of believers, or of heathens and infidels: for infants, as infants have all the same innocency, say they, jointly in their Apology: nay more plainly,c it can be no fault wherewith we are born: in which last expression, these bold innovators, with one dash of their pens, have quite overthrown a sacred verity, an Apostolic Catholic fundamental Article, of Christian Religion: but truly to me, there are no stronger Arguments of the sinful corruption of our nature, then to see, such nefarious issues of unsanctified hearts: let us look then to the word of God confounding this Babylonish design.
