elect But â—an besides that hee is so â—eake that it is not possible â—â—r him to sustain the weight â—f Gods wrath doth also so â—uch flâ—tter himselfe in that â—is most miserable blindnes ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ he cannot perceiue it 1 â—ecause he is wholly in bonâ—age to sinne 2 so that the lavv of GOD is to him as death 3 so farre is he vnable of himselfe to recouer his libertie or to satisfie the law of God in the very least â—ote God therefore the most mercifull father of the elect moderating in such sort his iustice with his infinite mercie appointed his onely son who was the very same substance and God eternal with him that at the time determined he shold by the power of the holy 4 ghost bee made very man 5 to the end that both the natures beeing ioyned in Iesus Christ alone 6 first all the corruption of man shold be fully healed in one man 7 who should also accomplish all iustice 8 and moreouer should bee able enough to sustaine the iudgment of God and be a priest sufficient worthy of himselfe to appease the wrath of God his father in dying as a iust and innocent for them that were vniust and sinners couering our disobedience and purging all our sinnes which were laid vpon him 9. And finally with one onely offering and sacrifice of himselfe should sanctifie all the elect mortifying burying sinne in them by the partaking of his death buriall and quickning them into newnes of life by his resurrection 10 so that they should finde more in him then they had lost in Adam 11. And to the intent this remedie should not be found and ordayned in vaine the lord God determined to giue this his sonne with all things appertaining to saluation 12 to them whom hee had determined in himself to chuse and on the other side to giue them vnto his Sonne that they beeing in him and hee in them 13 might bee consummate and made perfit in one by these degrees that follow after according as it pleased him to bring forth euery one of his elect into this world For first when it pleaseth him to disclose that secret which he had purposed from before all beginning 14 at such time as men least looke for it 15 as men are blinded and yet thinke they see most cleare 16 when as in verie deed death daÌ„nation hangeth ouer their head 17 hee commeth sodenly setteth before their eyes the great danger wherin they are and that they might be touched more sharply and liuely hee addeth to the witnes of their owne conscience beeing as it were asleepe and dead the preaching of his law 18 and the examples of his indgements to strike theÌ„ with the horror of their sins not that they should remaine in that feare but rather that be holding the great danger thereof should flie to that onely Mediator Iesus Christ 19 in whoÌ„ after the sharpe preaching of the law hee setteth forth the sweet grace of the Gospell but yet with this condition that they belieue in him 20 vvho onelie can deliuer them from coÌ„demnation 21 and giue them right and title to the heauenly inheritance 22 Yet all these things were but vaine if he should onelie set before mens eyes these secrets by the externall preaching of his word written published in the Church of God which notwithstanding is the ordinarie means wherby Iesus Christ is communicated vnto vs 23 therfore as touching his elect 24 vnto the external preaching of his word he ioyneth the inward working of his holy Spirit the which doth not restore as the Papists imagine the remnants or residue of free will for what power soeuer of free will remaineth in vs serueth to no other vse but willingly to sinne 25 to flee from God 26 to hate him 27 and so not to heare him 28 nor to belieue in him 29 neither yet to acknowledge his gifts 30 no not so much as to thinke a good thought 31 and finally to be children of wrath and malediction but contrariwise changeth their hard harts of stone into soft harts of flesh 32 draweth them 33 teacheth them 34 lighteneth their eyes 35 and openeth their sense 36 their heart their eares and vnderstanding first to make them to knowe as wee haue said before their owne miserie and next to plant in them the gift of faith whereby they may performe that condition which is ioyned to the preaching of the Gospell And that standeth in two points the one whereby wee knowe Christ in general in belieuing the storie of Christ and the Prophecies which are writ of him 37 the which part of faith as vvee shall declare in due place is sometimes giuen to the reprobate The other which is proper and onely belongeth to the elect consisteth in applying Christ who is vniuersally and indifferentlie preached to all men to our selues as ours and that euery man make himselfe sure of his election which hath been hid before all time in Gods secret 38 and afterwards reuealed vnto vs partly by the inward testimonie of our conscience through the holy Ghost ioyned to the externall preaching of Gods word 39 and partly also by the vertue and power of the same spirit who deliuering the elect from the seruitude of sin 40 perswadeth and conducteth them to will and vvorke the things which please God These then be the degrees whereby it pleaseth God to create and forme by his especiall grace that precious and peculiar gift of faith in his elect to the intent that they may imbrace their saluation in Iesus Christ But because this faith in vs is yet weake onely begun to the end that we may not onely perseuere in it but also profit vvhich thing is most necessary for al men to do first according to the time that our adoption is reuealed vnto vs this faith is sealed in our harts by the sacrament of Baptisme and after euery day more more is confirmed and sealed in vs by the Sacrament of the Lords Supper of the which two Sacraments the principall end is that they be sure and effectuall signes and pledges of the communion of the faithfull vvith Christ 41 who is their wisedome iustice sanctification and redemption 42. For this occasion it is so oftentimes mentioned with Saint Paul that wee beeing iustified by faith haue peace with God 43 for whosoeuer hath obtained the gift of true faith hath also by the same grace and liberalitie of God obtained the gift of perseuerance 44. So that in all maner of temptations and afflictions hee doubteth not to call vpon God vvith sure confidence to obtaine his request as farre as it is expedient for him knowing that hee is of the number of Gods children who cannot faile him 45. Moreouer he neuer swarueth so from the right way but at length by the benefit of Gods grace he returneth againe for although faith sometime seeme in the elect

as it were for a time hid and buried so that a man would thinke it were vtterly quenched 46 which God suffereth that men might knowe their owne weakenes yet it doth neuer so far leaue theÌ„ that the loue of God their neighbor is a together plucked out of their hearts For no man is iustified in Christ who also is not sanctified in him 47 and framed to good works which God prepared that we should walke therein 48. This is theÌ„ the way wherby God by his mercie doth prepare to the full execution of his eternall counsell them amongst his elect whoÌ„ it pleaseth him to reserue till they come to ripe age and discretion As touching the other whoÌ„ he calleth into his kingdome so soone as they are borne or in their tender yeeres he vseth a more short way For seeing he doth comprehend in that his free couenant whereof Iesus Christ is the Mediator 49 not onely the faithfull but also their posteritie 50 into a thousand generations 51 calling the same by expresse words holy 52 there is no doubt but the children of the Saints which appertain to election whom hee onely knoweth he hath giuen to his Sonne who will not cast them out 53. CHAP. V. After vvhat sort almightie God doth execute effectually declare his counsell touching reprobation BY these things whereof we haue now spoken it may easily appeare hovv God maketh them to goe to their owne place 1 whom he created to that end that hee might bee glorified in their iust condemnation For as Christ the second heauenly Adam is the foundation and very substance and effect of the elects saluation so also the first earthly Adam because hee fell is the first author of the hate and so consequently of the damnation of the reprobate 2. For when God mooued vvith those causes which he only knoweth had determined to create them to this end to shew forth in them his iust wrath and power 3 likewise he did orderly dispose the causes meanes whereby it might come to passe that the whole cause of their damnation might be of themselues as hath been declared before in the third Chap. When man then was fallen willingly into that miserable estate wherof wee haue spoken in the chap. before God who hateth iustly the reprobate because they are corrupt in part of theÌ„ hee doth execute his iust wrath so soon as they are borne 4 and towards the rest that be of age whom he reserueth to a more sharpe iudgement hee obserueth two waies clean contrary one to the other For as concerning some he sheweth them not so much fauour as once to heare of Iesus Christ in whom onely is saluation 5 but suffereth them to walk in their owne waies 6 and run head long to their perdition And as for the testimonies that God hath left to them of his diuinitie 7 serue them to no other vse but to make them without all excuse 8 and yet through their owne default seeing their ignorance and sack of capacitie is the iust punishment of that corruption wherein they are borne And surely as touching that that they can attaine vnto in knowing GOD by their light or rather naturall darknes albeit they neuer failed in the way but so continued 9 yet were it not in no wise sufficient for their saluation For it is necessarie for vs that shall be saued that we knowe God not onely as GOD but as our Father in Christ 10 the which mysterie flesh and bloud doth not reueale 11 but the Son himselfe to them whom his Father hath giuen him 12. As concerning others their fall is more terrible 13. For hee causeth them to heare by preaching the outward word of the Gospel 14 but because they are not of the number of the elect beeing called they heare not 15 and forasmuch as they are not able to receiue the spirit of truth 16 therefore they cannot belieue because it is not giuen vnto them 17 vvherefore when they are called to the feast they refuse to come So that the word of life is follie vnto them an offence 18 and finally the sauour of death to their destruction There are yet others vvhose harts almighty God openeth to receiue and belieue the things that they heare but this is with that generall faith whereby the diuels belieue and tremble 20. To conclude they which are most miserable of all those climbe a degree higher that their fall might bee more grieuous for they are raised so high by some gift of grace that they are a little mooued with some taste of the heauenly gift 21 so that for the time they seeme to haue receiued the seed and to be planted in the Church of God 22 and also shew the way of saluation to others 23. But this is plaine that the spirit of adoption which we haue said to be onely proper vnto them which are neuer cast forth 24 but are written in the secret of Gods people 25 is neuer coÌ„municated to theÌ„ for were they of the elect they should remaine stil with the elect 26 All these therefore because of necessitie yet willingly as they vvhich are vnder the slauerie of sin 27 return to their vomit 28 and fall away from faith 29 are plucked vp by the roots to be cast into the fire 30. I meane they are forsaken of God 31 who according to his will the which no man can resist 32 and yet for all that because of their corruption wickednesse 33 hardeneth theÌ„ 34 maketh their hearts fatte stoppeth their eares and blindeth them 35 and to bring this to passe he vseth partly their owne vile coÌ„cupiscences to the which he hath giuen them vp to be ruled and led by 36 and partly the spirit of lyes who keepeth them wrapt in his snares 37 by reason of their corruption from the which as out of a fountaine issueth a continuall flowing riuer of infidelitie ignorance and iniquitie whereby it followeth that hauing as it vvere made a shippe-wrack of their faith can by no meanes escape the day which is appointed for their destruction that God may bee glorified in their iust condemnation CHAP. VI. Of the last and full execution and accomplishment of Gods eternall counsell aswel towards the elect as the reprobate FOrasmuch as God is iustice it selfe it is necessary that he should saue the iust and condemne the vniust Now they amongst men are onely iust who beeing by faith ioyned to Christ 1 grafted 2. rooted in him 3 made one body with him 4 are iustified and sanctified in him and by him whereof it followeth that the glorie to the which they are destinate 5 to the glory of God 6. appertaineth to them as by a certaine right or title On the other part they vvhich remaine in Adams pollution and death are iustly hated of GOD and so condemned by him not excepting so much as them vvhich die before they sinne as Adam did 7. But both these maners
