SO when as the question of the sorting of the causes of salvation into degrees,¹ & placing of them, as it were in a certain new order, in the salvation of the elect, we do distinguish or make a difference between the purpose of electing or choosing, the which God hath decreed in him self, and the election or choosing it self, the which is ordained in Christ, so that this purpose of God in the rule and order of causes goeth before this election, and all other things which follow after.

SO when as the question of the sorting of the causes of saluatiō into degrees,¹ & placing of thē, as it were in a certaine new order, in the saluation of the elect, we do distinguish or make a differēce between the purpose of electing or chosing, the whiche God hath decreed in him selfe, and the election or chosing it selfe, the which is ordained in Christ, so that this purpose of God in the rule and order of causes goeth before this election, and all other thinges which follow after.

1Gods purpose in him self in man his salvation, is the highest and chiefest cause, and is to be divided, & also goeth before our election, which is grounded in Christ, and also before all other inferior causes that follow after it.Gods purpose in him selfe in man his saluatiō, is the highest and chiefest cause, and is to be deuided, & also goeth before our election, vvhich is grounded in Christ, and also before all other inferiour causes that follovv after it.
