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.

Thirdly,t they teach, that God hath determined nothing, concerning such things, as these in question: That God hath determined future contingent things unto either part, (I mean such as issue from the free-will of the creature) I abominate, hate, and curse, as false, absurd, and leading us on unto blasphemy, saith Arminius: to determine of them to either part, is, to determine, and ordain, whether they shall be, or whether they shall not be: as that David shall, or shall not go up to morrow, against the Philistines and prevail. Now the infallibility of Gods foreknowing of such things, depending on the certainty of his decree, and determination: if there be no such thing as this; that also, must needs fall to the ground,
