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

both_o be_v in_o justice_n inflict_v upon_o one_o and_o in_o mercy_n but_o upon_o the_o one_o that_o as_o one_o be_v a_o example_n of_o his_o justice_n so_o the_o other_o may_v be_v a_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n that_o none_o may_v boast_v of_o his_o own_o merit_n because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o in_o he_o that_o run_v but_o in_o god_n that_o show_v mercy_n when_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v torment_v in_o hell_n fire_n then_o shall_v god_n saint_n clear_o perceive_v how_o much_o his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n do_v avail_v they_o then_o shall_v they_o find_v it_o true_a by_o

there_o be_v not_o iniquity_n but_o just_a judgement_n inflict_v i_o remember_v saint_n augustine_n speak_v very_o fit_o to_o this_o purpose_n in_o a_o other_o place_n though_o upon_o a_o other_o occasion_n for_o in_o his_o 157._o epistle_n to_o optatus_n he_o propose_v this_o question_n why_o god_n have_v ordain_v so_o few_o to_o be_v save_v and_o foresee_v that_o so_o many_o million_o of_o man_n be_v to_o be_v damn_v for_o their_o sin_n why_o he_o do_v creaate_v they_o why_o so_o merciful_a a_o god_n shall_v be_v glorify_v more_o by_o the_o damnation_n than_o salvation_n of_o his_o

without_o all_o comparison_n more_o to_o be_v damn_v then_o to_o be_v save_v for_o these_o two_o cause_n first_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o great_a multitude_n of_o they_o which_o be_v

from_o that_o damnation_n may_v by_o their_o own_o redemption_n confess_v when_o they_o see_v the_o great_a part_n damn_v that_o that_o damnation_n be_v due_a to_o the_o whole_a lump_n and_o therefore_o to_o their_o own_o self_n which_o be_v adjudge_v to_o the_o great_a part_n second_o he_o be_v not_o unjust_a by_o any_o parciality_n in_o punish_v because_o first_o he_o may_v because_o it_o be_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n just_o condemn_v some_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o pharaoh_n second_o as_o in_o election_n so_o in_o reprobation_n between_o his_o decree_n and_o the_o execution_n 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 damn_v yet_o between_o his_o decree_n to_o save_v and_o salvation_n itself_o there_o be_v mercy_n for_o none_o be_v save_v but_o by_o mercy_n and_o between_o his_o decree_n to_o condemn_v and_o the_o damnation_n there_o be_v harden_v that_o man_n can_v not_o repent_v but_o continue_v in_o their_o sin_n so_o that_o albeit_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o decree_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v damn_v be_v only_o in_o himself_o because_o his_o own_o will_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o decree_n there_o be_v find_v cause_n of_o damnation_n inherent_a in_o themselves_o which_o be_v infidelity_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n so_o that_o none_o be_v condemn_v but_o first_o there_o be_v find_v in_o they_o matter_n enough_o worthy_a of_o condemnation_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v perditio_fw-la
