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

the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n and_o fatness_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o plenty_n of_o wheat_n and_o wine_n but_o with_o the_o same_o blessing_n he_o bless_v esau_n though_o not_o in_o so_o great_a and_o

word_n do_v make_v against_o predestination_n for_o if_o we_o do_v well_o consider_v the_o drift_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n we_o shall_v find_v the_o contrary_n most_o plain_o to_o appear_v for_o although_o the_o argument_n which_o the_o apostle_n handle_v in_o that_o chapter_n and_o the_o two_o other_o chapter_n follow_v be_v a_o special_a discourse_n of_o the_o general_a apostasy_n and_o rejection_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o vocation_n of_o the_o gentile_n yet_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o occupation_n he_o enter_v into_o a_o particular_a tract_n of_o

which_o seem_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n flat_o to_o make_v against_o this_o doctrine_n which_o he_o have_v deliver_v concern_v the_o general_a rejection_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o so_o he_o inintreat_v of_o predestination_n for_o the_o prevent_n of_o a_o objection_n for_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n have_v lament_v the_o reject_v of_o his_o kindred_n the_o jew_n he_o make_v this_o objection_n with_o himself_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n have_v reject_v the_o jew_n and_o call_v the_o gentile_n in_o their_o place_n it_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o make_v with_o abraham_n for_o his_o promise_n to_o abraham_n be_v otherwise_o and_o that_o his_o word_n shall_v be_v of_o none_o effect_n to_o which_o objection_n he_o answer_v that_o albeit_o the_o general_a reject_v of_o the_o jew_n yet_o the_o promise_n which_o the_o lord_n make_v to_o abrahaem_n remain_v sure_a and_o steadfast_a for_o as_o much_o as_o notwithstanding_o their_o general_a apostasy_n and_o infidelity_n the_o lord_n in_o his_o secret_a counsel_n choose_v of_o they_o some_o in_o particular_a who_o he_o list_v who_o he_o have_v before_o predestinate_v to_o salvation_n for_o he_o make_v the_o promise_n to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n not_o in_o a_o generality_n to_o all_o his_o seed_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o in_o particular_a to_o all_o those_o of_o his_o seed_n which_o shall_v be_v his_o child_n according_a to_o the_o faith_n even_o as_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o therefore_o the_o

of_o the_o number_n of_o god_n elect_v which_o be_v predestinate_v which_o he_o prove_v by_o two_o example_n the_o one_o of_o abraham_n and_o the_o other_o of_o isaac_n concern_v abraham_n he_o have_v

by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v isaac_n only_o repute_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o heir_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o ishmael_n reject_v he_o yield_v this_o reason_n because_o they_o which_o be_v the_o child_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o as_o child_n but_o only_o the_o child_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v account_v for_o the_o seed_n concern_v isaac_n also_o he_o have_v

yet_o before_o either_o be_v bear_v one_o be_v choose_v the_o other_o refuse_v to_o show_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o general_a rejection_n of_o the_o jew_n yet_o god_n keep_v his_o promise_n

can_v be_v understand_v of_o christ_n and_o judas_n because_o christ_n be_v without_o sin_n but_o in_o the_o four_o verse_n of_o that_o psalm_n he_o say_v have_v mercy_n on_o i_o and_o heal_v my_o
