Professor of the Forraigners enjoined by the Praeses to do The intent of his discourse at that time was to overthrow certain distinctions framed by the Remonstrants for the maintenance of their positions and evasion from the Contraremonstrants Arguments The Remonstrants usually distinguish upon Election and divide it into definitam indefinitam revocabilem irrevocabilem peremptoriam non peremptoriam mutabilem immu●●abilem and the like For the refutation of which distinctions he first set down the definition of election brought by the Contraremonstrant and at large confirmed it secondly he brought the definition of election agreed on by the Remonstrant and Argued against it and thirdly he directly oppugned these forecited distinctions all which he did learnedly and fully When Dr. Davenant had spoken the Auditory was commanded to depart For having a purpose that others should speake at the same time and fearing that some diversity of opinion might rise and occasion some dissention it was thought fit that things should be transacted as privately as might be Many more of the Forreigners deliver'd themselves that night and amongst the rest Martinius of Breme proposed again his former doubts unto the Synod concerning the sense in which Christ is said to be fundamentum electionis requested to be resolved But D. Gomarus at this time was somewhat better advised thought it best to hold his peace This day will there be a private meeting wherein every company will give up their judgments in writing upon the first Article and to morrow I understand they will go on unto the second and proceed in it accordingly as they have done in the former As for any Decisive Sentence they will give none till they have thus gone through all the five In this I suppose they do very discreetly For since the Articles are mutually linked together it is most convenient they should first go through them all since a predetermination in the former might bind them to some inconvenience in the later there being no place left to look back but stand they must to what they have once concluded For avoiding of this it is thought best to determine of all at once And this is all the news that here is currant wherefore Commending Your Honour to Gods good protection I humbly take my leave Dort this 18 28 of January 1619. Your Honors Chaplain and Bounden in all Duty Jo. Hales Right Honourable my very good Lord UPon Munday the 18 28 of January in the Evening the Synod being met Scultetus spake at large de Certitudine gratiae salvtis that it was necessary for every man to be assured of his Salvation The manner of his discourse was oratoriall the same that he uses in his Sermons not scholasticall and according to the fashion of disputation and Schools For this cause the question was neither deeply searcht into nor strongly proved And this is all was done that night I spake with Mr. Dr. Goad concerning Mr. Brent who answer'd me that he heard nothing at all of him and that he will shortly write unto My Lord Archbishops Secretary to be informed farther concerning him My Lord Bishop of late hath taken some pains with Martinius of Brente to bring him from his opinion of Vniversall Grace By chance I came to see his Letter writen to Martinius in which he expounded that place in the third of John So God loved the World that he gave his only begotten S●●on c. which is the strongest ground upon which Martinius rests himself Beyond this here is no news worth the relating and therfore till farther occasion offer it self I humbly take my leave Dort this 19 29 of January 1618. Your Honours Chaplain and bounden in all Duty Jo. Hales Right Honourable my very good Lord. UPon Thursday the 24 31 of January in the Evening the Synod met privately and as they had done in the first so did they in the second Article For the speedier Direction to finde the places in the Remonstrants Books where the particulars concerning Vniversall Grace are discust there was a kinde of Index or Concordance drawn of the severall passages in their writings touching that subject The next Day following that is the first of February Stylo novo Mr. Balcanquall and Cruciger of Hassia made entrance upon the second Article Mr. Balcanquall spake above an hour and did very well acquit himself When they had done the Praeses enjoin'd Steinius of Hassia upon Tuesday next in the Evening at what time will be the next open Session to speak of the fourth Article for of the third there is no question and to sound whether the Grace of God converting us be resi●●tible as the Remonstrants would have it This hast chat is made in this suddain passing from one Article to another is much mervail'd at by our English Divines for the Colledges yet have not all given up their opinion upon the first and besides that the Remonstrants upon Wednesday last were willed to give in their Arguments upon the first Article For notwithstanding they be excluded from personall appearance in the Synod yet are they Commanded to Exhibit to the Synod whatsoever they shall please to command Now some time will be required for the Examining of those reasons if they be of late invention and such as yet have had nothing said to them But what the reason of this hast is will appear hereafter I lately writ unto Mr. Collwall to know what Order was to be taken for the discharge of my lodging whether your Honor were to answer it or the publick purse I would willingly be resolved of it because I have a desire to returne to the Hague first because the Synod proceeding as it both I do not see that it is opere pretium for me here to abide and then because I have sundry private occasions that call upon me to return For notwithstanding this hast of which I but now spake it will be long ere the Synod will come to determine any thing and about that time if your Honor shall be so pleased I shall be ready to come back to Dort And so remembring my service unto your Honor I humbly take my leave Dort this first of Febr. 1619. stylo novo Your Honors Chaplain and bounden in all Duty and Service Jo. Hales Right Honourable and my very good Lord OUr Synod goes on like a watch the main Wheels upon which the whole business turnes are least in sight For all things of moment are acted in private Sessions what is done in publick is onely for thew and entertainment Upon Munday last the 4th of February stylo nov●● the Deputies met privately in the Evening where the first thing that came upon the Stage was that old impertinent business concerning the Campenses at what time Scotlerus a Remonstrant Minister who had been formerly cited to appear before the Synod having not appeared at time appointed pretended sickness and for that cause he required the Synods patient forbearance After
