A84741	Truths vindication of election, and reprobation Wherein is shewed, Christ the cause of election; sin the cause of reprobation. The iustice of God is likewise cleared from that which is layd upon him by many; (namely) that some shall one day be damned for unbelief, and yet he never gave a Christ for them to beleeve in. Most of the strongest objections that scriptures or reason can make, answered. By William Fouler minister of the gospel at Ingworth in Norffolk.	Fowler, William, minister of Ingworth, Norfolk.	1652 (1652)	Wing F1639; Thomason E1376_4; ESTC R209255	16,436	44

they_o will_v believe_v and_o repent_v but_o they_o therefore_o believe_v and_o repent_v because_o he_o choose_v they_o indeed_o christ_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o salvation_n sin_n the_o cause_n of_o

without_o remedy_n because_o reprobate_v from_o eternity_n 12_o object_n then_o it_o seem_v you_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reprobation_n answ_n i_o do_v not_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reprobation_n but_o i_o hold_v that_o none_o be_v reprobate_v but_o for_o sin_n 13_o object_n but_o be_v not_o esau_n reprobate_v be_v hate_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v and_o pharaoh_n make_v on_o

hate_v and_o harden_v for_o i_o will_v put_v they_o together_o now_o god_n be_v say_v to_o hate_n and_o to_o harden_v when_o he_o leave_v the_o creature_n to_o himself_o but_o i_o affirm_v that_o god_n never_o leave_v the_o creature_n until_o the_o creature_n first_o leave_v he_o see_v why_o god_n leave_v esau_n obadiah_n v._n 10._o for_o thy_o violence_n against_o thy_o brother_n jacob_n
