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.

not only that whereby the body was obedient unto the soul, and all the affections subservient to the rule of reason for the performance of all natural actions: but also a light, uprightness, and holiness of grace, in the mind and will, whereby he was enabled to yield obedience unto God, for the attaining of that supernatural end, whereunto he was created? No? bute original righteousness, say our new Doctors, was nothing but a bridle: to help keep mans inordinate concupiscence within bounds: so that the faculties of our souls, were never endued with any proper innate holiness of their own:f In the spiritual death of sin, there are no spiritual gifts properly wanting in the will, because they were never there, say the six Collocutors at the Hague.
