reprobation_n of_o sinner_n issue_n from_o the_o sovereignty_n and_o justice_n thereof_o the_o reprobation_n of_o sin_n be_v universal_a and_o without_o any_o distinction_n of_o person_n god_n hate_v sin_n wherever_o it_o be_v be_v it_o in_o his_o own_o belove_a jedidiah_n it_o be_v a_o abominable_a thing_n such_o as_o his_o soul_n abhor_v but_o the_o reprobation_n of_o sinner_n be_v particular_a esau_n and_o not_o jacob_n be_v hate_v judas_n and_o not_o peter_n be_v a_o son_n of_o perdition_n indeed_o he_o that_o deny_v particular_a reprobation_n must_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n deny_v particular_a election_n and_o he_o that_o assert_v a_o election_n of_o some_o individual_a person_n do_v in_o eodem_fw-la rationis_fw-la signo_fw-la assert_v a_o reprobation_n of_o other_o 2._o what_o be_v they_o for_o quality_n i_o answer_v in_o two_o particular_n 1._o reprobation_n as_o to_o the_o first_o and_o second_o act_n thereof_o viz._n preterition_n and_o permission_n of_o final_a sin_n respect_v they_o as_o lie_v in_o the_o corrupt_a mass._n this_o appear_v by_o those_o name_n and_o title_n whereby_o reprobation_n be_v set_v forth_o and_o describe_v in_o scripture_n there_o it_o be_v hatred_n and_o god_n hate_v none_o but_o sinner_n it_o be_v harden_v and_o god_n harden_v none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v in_o a_o corrupt_a estate_n it_o be_v abjection_n or_o cast_v away_o and_o god_n do_v not_o cast_v away_o a_o upright_a one_o or_o a_o man_n stand_v in_o integrity_n it_o be_v not_o know_v and_o god_n know_v and_o approve_v every_o sinless_a creature_n it_o be_v not_o show_v mercy_n and_o that_o suppose_v man_n to_o lie_v in_o a_o state_n of_o misery_n or_o else_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o mercy_n or_o the_o denial_n thereof_o wherefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o in_o preterition_n and_o permission_n of_o final_a sin_n man_n be_v consider_v as_o lie_v in_o a_o corrupt_a and_o undo_v condition_n 2._o reprobation_n as_o to_o its_o three_o act_n viz._n the_o decree_a of_o damnation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a sinner_n it_o be_v true_a every_o sin_n as_o sin_n be_v in_o itself_o intrinsical_o meritorious_a of_o damnation_n but_o through_o gospel_n grace_n in_o jesus_n christ_n no_o sin_n but_o such_o as_o be_v final_a do_v actual_o produce_v damnation_n god_n condemn_v none_o but_o for_o final_a sin_n and_o decree_n to_o condemn_v none_o but_o for_o it_o those_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d fit_v to_o destruction_n rom._n 9_o 22._o be_v as_o i_o take_v it_o final_a sinner_n only_o great_a sinner_n may_v be_v vessel_n of_o mercy_n and_o repent_v unto_o life_n eternal_a but_o final_a sinner_n be_v vessel_n of_o wrath_n and_o fit_v to_o destruction_n god_n swear_v by_o his_o life_n that_o he_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a ezek._n 33._o 11._o not_o unless_o he_o be_v a_o final_a sinner_n in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o true_a turn_n or_o repent_v not_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o to_o leave_v no_o place_n or_o room_n at_o all_o for_o conversion_n for_o the_o sinner_n turn_v be_v in_o the_o text_n oppose_v to_o his_o death_n and_o oppose_v as_o a_o thing_n more_o destrable_a to_o god_n than_o his_o death_n shall_v the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n objective_o terminate_v on_o a_o sinner_n mere_o as_o a_o sinner_n there_o can_v be_v no_o place_n or_o room_n for_o repentance_n but_o if_o it_o terminate_v on_o he_o as_o a_o final_a sinner_n there_o be_v no_o such_o obstruction_n at_o all_o wherefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o as_o god_n condemn_v none_o but_o for_o final_a sin_n so_o he_o decree_v to_o condemn_v none_o but_o for_o the_o same_o and_o by_o consequence_n that_o decree_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a sinner_n that_o be_v they_o be_v first_o consider_v as_o final_a sinner_n and_o then_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n terminate_v on_o they_o object_n but_o here_o a_o objection_n meet_v i_o god_n condemn_v none_o but_o final_a sinner_n and_o decree_n to_o condemn_v none_o but_o such_o yet_o hence_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a sinner_n or_o that_o they_o be_v consider_v as_o such_o antecedent_o to_o that_o decree_n for_o god_n save_v none_o but_o final_a believer_n and_o decree_n to_o save_v none_o but_o such_o yet_o from_o thence_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o the_o decree_n of_o salvation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a believer_n or_o that_o they_o be_v consider_v as_o such_o antecedent_o to_o that_o decree_n for_o as_o have_v be_v lay_v down_o before_o faith_n and_o salvation_n be_v comprise_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o decree_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o antecedency_n of_o faith_n to_o salvation_n in_o the_o very_a decree_n but_o only_o in_o the_o execution_n thereof_o answ._n to_o which_o objection_n i_o answer_v that_o between_o the_o two_o case_n there_o be_v a_o triple_a difference_n which_o if_o consider_v will_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o consequence_n which_o fail_v in_o the_o one_o case_n do_v hold_v good_a in_o the_o other_o 1._o these_o two_o proposition_n god_n decree_v to_o save_v none_o but_o final_a believer_n and_o god_n decree_v to_o damn_v none_o but_o final_a sinner_n must_v be_v take_v in_o a_o different_a meaning_n when_o we_o say_v god_n decree_v to_o save_v none_o but_o final_a believer_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o final_a believer_n so_o preconsider_v antecedent_o to_o that_o decree_n for_o faith_n and_o salvation_n be_v comprise_v in_o one_o decree_n but_o final_a believer_n so_o to_o be_v make_v by_o force_n of_o that_o decree_n but_o when_o we_o say_v god_n decree_v to_o damn_v none_o but_o final_a sinner_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o final_a sinner_n so_o to_o be_v make_v by_o force_n of_o that_o decree_n for_o god_n decree_n make_v no_o man_n a_o final_a sinner_n but_o final_a sinner_n so_o preconsider_v antecedent_o to_o that_o decree_n wherefore_o from_o that_o proposition_n god_n decree_v to_o save_v none_o but_o final_a believer_n it_o can_v be_v conclude_v that_o the_o decree_n of_o salvation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a believer_n but_o because_o of_o the_o different_a meaning_n from_o that_o other_o proposition_n god_n decree_v to_o damn_v none_o but_o final_a sinner_n it_o may_v be_v right_o conclude_v that_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a sinner_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o immediate_a contact_n between_o grace_n and_o glory_n hence_o these_o two_o may_v very_o apt_o be_v comprise_v in_o one_o decree_n and_o if_o so_o final_a faith_n be_v not_o preconsider_v to_o the_o decree_n of_o salvation_n but_o between_o preterition_n or_o permission_n of_o sin_n and_o damnation_n there_o be_v no_o immediate_a contact_n for_o the_o act_n of_o the_o creature_n even_o his_o final_a sin_n come_v between_o hence_o preterition_n or_o permission_n and_o damnation_n can_v according_a to_o our_o understanding_n be_v congruous_o comprise_v in_o one_o decree_n but_o in_o distinct_a decree_n and_o if_o so_o final_a sin_n be_v preconsider_v to_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n for_o no_o soon_o do_v the_o decree_n of_o preterition_n and_o permission_n pass_v in_o the_o divine_a will_n but_o therein_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n there_o be_v a_o prescience_n of_o final_a sin_n and_o thereupon_o pass_v the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n but_o you_o will_v say_v neither_o be_v there_o such_o a_o immediate_a contact_n between_o grace_n and_o glory_n as_o you_o assert_v for_o between_o the_o donation_n of_o grace_n and_o glory_n the_o act_n of_o the_o creature_n viz._n final_a faith_n do_v intervene_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a it_o do_v intervene_v but_o as_o a_o fruit_n or_o effect_v of_o that_o donation_n it_o do_v intervene_v but_o that_o donation_n have_v a_o causal_a influence_n and_o attingency_n into_o the_o creature_n act_n and_o its_o perseverance_n wherefore_o it_o so_o intervene_v as_o not_o to_o break_v the_o immediate_a contact_n in_o the_o least_o measure_n but_o between_o preterition_n or_o permission_n and_o damnation_n the_o creature_n act_n viz._n final_a sin_n do_v intervene_v not_o as_o a_o effect_n of_o preterition_n or_o permission_n but_o as_o a_o fruit_n of_o man_n corrupt_a and_o deprave_a will_n and_o that_o intervention_n can_v stand_v with_o a_o immediate_a contact_n wherefore_o there_o be_v distinct_a decree_n first_o preterition_n and_o permission_n be_v decree_v and_o then_o upon_o the_o prescience_n of_o final_a sin_n damnation_n 3._o the_o three_o difference_n be_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n rom._n 6._o 23._o eternal_a life_n be_v a_o gift_n free_o give_v therefore_o the_o consideration_n of_o final_a faith_n be_v not_o a_o prerequisite_a to_o the_o decree_n of_o salvation_n but_o death_n be_v wage_n exact_v by_o the_o

intrinsical_a merit_n of_o sin_n and_o pay_v only_o to_o a_o final_a sinner_n therefore_o the_o consideration_n of_o final_a sin_n be_v a_o prerequisite_a to_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n without_o that_o consideration_n i_o see_v not_o how_o it_o can_v be_v decree_v as_o wage_n but_o you_o will_v say_v be_v not_o eternal_a life_n also_o a_o reward_n of_o faith_n and_o holiness_n and_o how_o then_o can_v that_o be_v decree_v as_o a_o reward_n without_o a_o preconsideration_n of_o these_o i_o answer_v eternal_a life_n be_v a_o reward_n but_o it_o be_v a_o reward_n of_o pure_a grace_n it_o be_v grace_n upon_o grace_n glorify_v grace_n upon_o sanctify_v therefore_o to_o the_o decree_v thereof_o as_o a_o reward_n it_o suffice_v that_o it_o be_v decree_v to_o believer_n and_o saint_n not_o believer_n and_o saint_n so_o preconsider_v to_o that_o decree_n for_o grace_n and_o glory_n be_v both_o mere_a gift_n and_o gift_n of_o immediate_a contact_n be_v comprise_v in_o one_o decree_n but_o believer_n and_o saint_n so_o to_o be_v make_v by_o force_n of_o that_o decree_n and_o so_o to_o be_v make_v before_o they_o wear_v the_o crown_n this_o be_v enough_o in_o the_o decree_a of_o a_o reward_n so_o pure_o gratuitous_a but_o in_o eternal_a death_n there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o gratuitous_a all_o be_v mere_a wage_n and_o pay_v for_o sin_n sin_n do_v real_o and_o intrinsical_o merit_v it_o wherefore_o eternal_a death_n as_o such_o wage_n be_v decree_v only_o to_o final_a sinner_n not_o final_a sinner_n so_o to_o be_v make_v by_o force_n of_o god_n decree_n for_o that_o make_v no_o man_n a_o final_a sinner_n but_o final_a sinner_n so_o preconsider_v to_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n for_o without_o that_o preconsideration_n it_o be_v not_o as_o i_o conceive_v decreeable_a as_o wage_n or_o pay_v due_a unto_o they_o to_o shut_v up_o this_o point_n in_o a_o word_n reprobation_n as_o to_o the_o decree_n of_o preterition_n and_o permission_n respect_v man_n as_o lapse_v sinner_n and_o as_o to_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n respect_v they_o as_o final_a sinnet_n 4._o what_o be_v the_o impulsive_a cause_n of_o reprobation_n to_o which_o i_o make_v answer_n 1._o as_o for_o the_o decree_n of_o preterition_n and_o permission_n of_o final_a sin_n it_o be_v from_o god_n will_n as_o clothe_v with_o supreme_a sovereignty_n god_n pass_v by_o and_o
