13. As it is written.1 I have loved Jacob, but hated Esau. Where he doth not only say, that Esau before he had done any good, was ordained unto •atred (for after this sort he might seem to touch none but actual sins (as they say) or unbelief, but faith plainly, before he was borne. By which words he excludeth or sh•tteth out from the cause of hatred, original sin also, & whatsoever in the person of Esau might be reckoned from his very birth. Therefore whereas a little after he bringeth in the reprobates or outcasts parting here against, he doth not attribute unto them such like kind of speech, why doth not God bear the same hatred towards others also, forasmuch as they ⟨image 19⟩are borne in y• same corruption, that we are? I say, there is no such thing read in the word of the Apostle, but he setteth this their exception against it: who shall withstand his will? For hereupon mans reason gathereth, that they are unworthily condemned. Neither doth Paul answer, that God did so will it, because he did foresee that they would be corrupted, and so that the cause of the decree was grounded upon their wickedness (which defence was plain and ready, if it had been true) but whilst he confesseth that it so pleased God, and that it was not in their will to change it, doubtless he abateth the pride of mans wisdom, that it may reverently esteem of the secrets of God, as is most meet: But the elect or chosen he exhorteth to behold the grace of God, the which he setteth forth with such comparison. So therefore must other testimonies be expounded, in the which we go up unto the highest will of God, which is the only rule of justice.

By which words he excludeth or sh•tteth out frō the cause of hatred, original sinne also, & whatsoeuer in the person of Esau might be reckoned from his very birth. Therfore wheras a litle after he bringeth in the reprobates or ofcastes parting here against, he doth not attrybute vnto them such like kind of speach, why doth not God beare ye same hatred towards others also, for asmuch as they
