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 ample_a manner_n 39_o say_v behold_v the_o fatness_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v thy_o dwell_a place_n and_o thou_o shall_v have_v of_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n from_o above_o but_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v temporal_a respect_n 3_o if_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v spiritual_a and_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v than_o jacob_n and_o esau_n stand_v in_o opposition_n one_o against_o the_o other_o in_o so_o much_o that_o one_o shall_v be_v choose_v the_o other_o damn_v then_o both_o of_o they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v bless_v that_o i_o may_v answer_v with_o as_o great_a brevity_n as_o i_o can_v the_o argument_n do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o saint_n paul_n do_v discourse_n of_o whole_a nation_n and_o not_o of_o particular_a person_n therefore_o these_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 predestination_n although_o it_o be_v obiter_fw-la and_o by_o the_o way_n as_o a_o question_n most_o necessary_a to_o be_v touch_v for_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o a_o place_n of_o scripture_n 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 state_n of_o this_o question_n thus_o stand_v that_o this_o grace_n be_v offer_v to_o all_o the_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n without_o exception_n that_o he_o will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v his_o people_n but_o it_o be_v seal_v only_o to_o the_o faithful_a the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n thereof_o appertain_v only_o unto_o they_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v 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 two_o son_n isaac_n and_o ishmael_n though_o ishmael_n be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n as_o well_o as_o isaac_n yea_o and_o circumcise_v before_o isaac_n have_v receyve_v the_o circumcision_n yet_o 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 two_o son_n esau_n and_o jacob_n both_o they_o be_v twin_n and_o near_o one_o to_o the_o other_o then_o isaac_n and_o ishmael_n because_o they_o have_v both_o the_o same_o father_n and_o mother_n 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 with_o abraham_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o concern_v only_o those_o child_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v according_a to_o faith_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n alone_o who_o he_o predestinate_v before_o they_o be_v bear_v not_o for_o any_o foresight_n of_o any_o good_a thing_n in_o they_o but_o of_o his_o own_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n because_o it_o be_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n which_o in_o deed_n be_v in_o number_n but_o a_o few_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o great_a multitude_n of_o they_o who_o he_o have_v hate_v although_o they_o be_v of_o the_o stock_n of_o abraham_n and_o as_o for_o that_o love_n and_o hatred_n wherewith_o he_o love_v one_o and_o hate_v the_o other_o although_o it_o be_v historical_o understand_v as_o it_o be_v in_o moses_n and_o malachy_n consist_v of_o temporal_a and_o worldly_a blessing_n yet_o in_o this_o epistle_n of_o saint_n paul_n it_o can_v otherwise_o be_v construe_v then_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v as_o paul_n himself_o the_o best_a interpreter_n of_o himself_o do_v in_o the_o word_n which_o follow_v explain_v his_o meaning_n for_o he_o show_v that_o the_o hatred_n of_o esau_n be_v such_o as_o the_o harden_v of_o pharaoh_n a_o reprobate_a not_o only_o in_o this_o life_n but_o also_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v moreover_o he_o term_v they_o which_o be_v so_o hate_v the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n prepare_v to_o destruction_n and_o they_o which_o be_v so_o love_v as_o jacob_n be_v love_v the_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n prepare_v to_o glory_n say_v god_n to_o show_v his_o wrath_n and_o to_o make_v his_o power_n know_v do_v suffer_v with_o long_a patience_n the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n prepare_v to_o destruction_n and_o to_o declare_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n upon_o the_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n which_o he_o have_v prepare_v unto_o glory_n furthermore_o lest_o we_o shall_v be_v like_o the_o jew_n 3._o which_o when_o the_o veil_n be_v put_v upon_o moses_n his_o face_n do_v not_o look_v to_o the_o end_n of_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v abolish_v and_o therefore_o their_o mind_n be_v harden_v and_o till_o this_o day_n do_v remain_v the_o same_o cover_v untaken_v away_o in_o the_o read_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o must_v not_o be_v ignorant_a that_o it_o receyve_v two_o interpretation_n the_o one_o historical_a the_o other_o mystical_a 3_o as_o sixtus_n senensis_n and_o saint_n augustine_n do_v well_o observe_v as_o for_o example_n christ_n speak_v of_o judas_n in_o this_o manner_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o you_o all_o i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v choose_v but_o it_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v he_o that_o eat_v bread_n with_o i_o have_v lift_v up_o his_o heel_n against_o i_o 13._o but_o if_o you_o confer_v these_o word_n with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n from_o whence_o they_o be_v take_v 9_o they_o do_v hystorical_o concern_v the_o person_n of_o david_n and_o his_o acquaintance_n and_o 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 soul_n for_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o yet_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v mystical_o expound_v it_o of_o himself_o &_o the_o treason_n of_o judas_n against_o his_o person_n likewise_o peter_n interprete_v this_o say_n of_o david_n let_v his_o habitation_n be_v void_a &_o no_o man_n dwell_v therein_o 54._o of_o judas_n where_o in_o that_o place_n the_o prophet_n speak_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n 25_o not_o of_o one_o but_o of_o many_o say_v let_v their_o habition_n be_v void_a and_o none_o dwell_v in_o their_o tent_n speak_v of_o the_o whole_a nation_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o the_o just_a punishment_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v just_o inflict_v
