A69227	A sermon preached at Paules Crosse, the sixt of February. 1596 In which are discussed these three conclusions. 1 It is not the will of God that all men should be saued. 2 The absolute will of God, and his secret decree from all eternitie is the cause why some are predestined to saluation, others to destruction, and not any foresight of faith, or good workes in the one, or infidelitie, neglect, or contempt in the other. 3 Christ died not effectually for all. By Iohn Doue, Doctor of Diuinitie.	Dove, John, 1560 or 61-1618.	1597 (1597)	STC 7087; ESTC S111946	36,520	88

of_o his_o decree_n there_o be_v subordinate_a cause_n for_o although_o his_o will_v be_v the_o first_o &_o principal_a cause_n that_o he_o decree_v who_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o who_o shall_v be_v
