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

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

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
