A86329	The order of causes. Of [brace] Gods fore-knowledge, election, and predestination. And of mans salvation or damnation. Laid down so clearly, and proved so plainly by the scriptures, that even the meanest capacity amongst rational men may understand it, to their great satisfaction. As also, whether Christ died for all, or not for all: with the causes and effects that may follow or not follow, seriously considered, meekly controverted, and plainly proved by the scriptures of truth; to the great satisfaction of all rational people fearing God. By Henry Haggar, a servant of Christ, and of the congregations of his saints.	Haggar, Henry.	1654 (1654)	Wing H188; Thomason E735_20; ESTC R206976	22,700	32

christ_n be_v call_v a_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o not_o slay_v nor_o touch_v till_o the_o day_n of_o his_o death_n so_o also_o although_o god_n callech_n man_n elect_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o elect_a nor_o choose_v until_o the_o very_a day_n of_o their_o conversion_n and_o turn_v from_o sin_n to_o god_n for_o god_n call_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o as_o though_o they_o be_v from_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a they_o be_v not_o elect_a although_o so_o call_v again_o if_o we_o consider_v election_n according_a to_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n it_o be_v plain_a from_o that_o text_n in_o 1_o pet._n 1.2_o elect_a according_o to_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n through_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n unto_o obedience_n from_o whence_o i_o reason_n thus_o if_o the_o elect_n be_v choose_v through_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n than_o they_o be_v not_o choose_v before_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n but_o they_o have_v not_o that_o sanctify_a spirit_n before_o they_o have_v a_o be_v either_o in_o the_o world_n or_o else_o in_o their_o mother_n womb_n at_o leastwise_o therefore_o not_o choose_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n but_o only_o as_o aforesaid_a again_o 2_o thess_n 2.13_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o give_v thanks_o always_o to_o god_n for_o yond_o brethren_n belove_v of_o the_o lord_n because_o god_n have_v from_o the_o beginning_n choose_v you_o to_o salvation_n through_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o belief_n of_o the_o truth_n whereunto_o you_o be_v call_v by_o our_o gospel_n from_o whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o the_o saint_n be_v choose_v to_o salvation_n through_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o believe_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o be_v call_v to_o believe_v that_o truth_n by_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o they_o be_v not_o choose_v before_o they_o have_v believe_v the_o truth_n and_o before_o they_o do_v hear_v the_o gospel_n by_o which_o they_o be_v call_v to_o believe_v but_o they_o be_v choose_v through_o believe_v the_o truth_n and_o call_v to_o believe_v it_o by_o the_o gospel_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v rom._n 10.17_o therefore_o not_o choose_v before_o they_o have_v a_o be_v no_o more_o than_o christ_n be_v slay_v before_o he_o have_v a_o be_v for_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n they_o be_v choose_v through_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o belief_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o if_o through_o be_v than_o not_o without_o it_o observe_v that_o but_o it_o be_v through_o it_o therefore_o not_o without_o it_o moreover_o they_o be_v call_v to_o this-faith_n by_o the_o gospel_n which_o they_o never_o hear_v before_o they_o have_v a_o be_v therefore_o it_o be_v clear_a their_o election_n be_v not_o before_o their_o conversion_n though_o god_n see_v it_o before_o neither_o indeed_o can_v it_o be_v because_o the_o elect_n be_v all_o choose_v in_o christ_n eph._n 1.4_o but_o i_o can_v prove_v that_o those_o very_a elect_a ephesian_n where_o once_o our_o of_o christ_n chap._n 2.11_o 12._o remember_v say_v the_o apostle_n that_o at_o that_o time_n you_o be_v without_o christ_n without_o hope_n without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n from_o whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o at_o that_o time_n they_o be_v without_o god_n and_o without_o christ_n then_o at_o that_o time_n they_o be_v not_o in_o he_o for_o they_o can_v not_o be_v without_o he_o and_o within_o he_o both_o at_o one_o time_n and_o if_o not_o in_o christ_n than_o not_o choose_v in_o he_o as_o all_o rational_a man_n will_v grant_v from_o all_o which_o i_o conclude_v that_o man_n be_v elect_v in_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n yet_o never_o in_o he_o before_o they_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o they_o never_o believe_v in_o he_o before_o they_o hear_v the_o gospel_n and_o they_o never_o hear_v the_o gospel_n before_o they_o be_v bear_v therefore_o not_o elect_v though_o so_o call_v by_o god_n who_o justifieith_n the_o ungodly_a and_o call_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o as_o though_o they_o be_v again_o how_o plain_a be_v it_o eph._n 1._o 11_o 12._o where_o paul_n say_v that_o they_o who_o god_n do_v predestinate_a according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n to_o be_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o glory_n be_v such_o as_o do_v first_o trust_n in_o christ_n and_o in_o ver_fw-la 13._o he_o say_v that_o they_o trust_v in_o christ_n after_o they_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n the_o gospel_n of_o their_o salvation_n not_o before_o the_o which_o they_o never_o hear_v before_o they_o be_v bear_v all_o man_n will_v grant_v that_o have_v but_o reason_n again_o how_o clear_a be_v that_o text_n 1_o pet._n 1.2_o elect_a according_o to_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n whence_o it_o be_v plain_a if_o god_n know_v they_o before_o he_o elect_v they_o than_o he_o know_v they_o as_o man_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o not_o as_o they_o be_v nothing_o and_o if_o he_o know_v they_o as_o they_o be_v man_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v bear_v first_o for_o of_o nothing_o nothing_o can_v be_v know_v before_o time_n nor_o choose_v in_o time_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o real_a and_o absolute_a act_n of_o election_n come_v to_o pass_v in_o time_n though_o know_v of_o god_n before_o time_n who_o according_a to_o his_o foreknowledge_n call_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o as_o though_o they_o be_v and_o so_o call_v man_n that_o be_v not_o elect_v as_o though_o they_o be_v elect_v and_o thus_o be_v the_o great_a objection_n about_o god_n election_n answer_v and_o the_o stumbling-block_n take_v away_o to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n may_v work_v out_o their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a and_o make_v their_o call_v and_o election_n sure_a the_o same_o may_v also_o be_v consider_v of_o god_n predestination_n or_o fore-appointing_a all_o obedient_a believer_n to_o life_n and_o salvation_n not_o without_o but_o according_a to_o his_o foreknowledge_n of_o all_o their_o word_n and_o action_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o likewise_o he_o predestinate_v or_o fore-appointeth_a all_o disobedient_a unbeliever_n and_o apostate_n to_o death_n and_o damnation_n not_o without_o but_o according_a to_o his_o foreknowledge_n of_o all_o their_o word_n and_o action_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n thus_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n foresee_v all_o man_n and_o thing_n past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v at_o once_o at_o once_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n foresee_v adam_n fall_n long_o before_o he_o be_v a_o creature_n in_o be_v for_o nothing_o be_v hide_v from_o his_o eye_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v naked_a and_o bare_a before_o he_o with_o who_o we_o have_v to_o do_v heb._n 4.13_o but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v say_v if_o god_n do_v foreknow_v adam_n will_v fall_v when_o he_o have_v create_v he_o why_o then_o do_v he_o make_v he_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v two_o thing_n first_o what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v to_o reply_v against_o our_o maker_n shall_v the_o thing_n form_v say_v to_o he_o that_o form_v it_o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o shall_v adam_n say_v to_o his_o maker_n why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o subject_a to_o fall_v what_o be_v that_o to_o adam_n see_v god_n have_v give_v he_o and_o his_o posterity_n mean_v to_o rise_v again_o to_o as_o good_a or_o a_o better_a condition_n and_o the_o neglect_n of_o tha●_n mean_n be_v that_o which_o will_v rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o all_o slothful_a disobedient_a one_o that_o will_v not_o make_v use_n of_o their_o talent_n of_o power_n wisdom_n and_o understanding_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o to_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a while_n they_o may_v this_o well_o consider_v will_v give_v light_n into_o rom._n 9.10_o 11_o 20_o 21_o 22._o and_o if_o man_n will_v needs_o understand_v that_o god_n love_v jacob_n and_o hate_a esan_n before_o they_o be_v bear_v they_o shall_v consider_v that_o god_n know_v they_o both_o before_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o after_o they_o be_v bear_v alike_o according_o to_o his_o foreknowledge_n as_o aforesaid_a but_o i_o know_v that_o this_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n election_n be_v not_o because_o of_o work_n foresee_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v but_o what_o work_v it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v not_o choose_v we_o because_o of_o any_o work_n of_o righteousness_n that_o we_o have_v do_v or_o can_v do_v out_o of_o christ_n for_o out_o of_o he_o no_o work_n be_v accept_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v therefore_o no_o work_n be_v require_v of_o unbeliever_n but_o the_o very_a prayer_n of_o the_o

wicked_a be_v a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n but_o it_o be_v because_o of_o work_n of_o righteousness_n that_o christ_n himself_o have_v wrought_v for_o we_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o do_v work_v by_o we_o and_o in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n when_o we_o be_v believer_n and_o though_o boast_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o boast_v of_o work_n before_o believe_v be_v reprove_v yet_o paul_n say_v as_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o i_o no_o man_n shall_v stop_v i_o of_o that_o boast_n 2_o cor._n 11.10_o and_o although_o be_v cry_v down_o work_n before_o faith_n in_o so_o many_o place_n yet_o he_o preach_v up_o work_n after_o believe_v loud_a enough_o in_o these_o word_n tit._n 3.8_o this_o be_v a_o faithful_a say_n and_o these_o thing_n i_o will_v that_o thou_o constant_o affirm_v that_o they_o which_o have_v believe_v in_o god_n may_v be_v careful_a to_o maintain_v good_a work_n for_o they_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a etc._n etc._n and_o phil._n 2.12_o 13._o work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n &_o tremble_a for_o it_o be_v god_n which_o work_v in_o you_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n thus_o we_o may_v see_v that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o for_o our_o working_n without_o christ_n that_o we_o be_v choose_v or_o predestinate_v to_o life_n and_o glory_n yet_o it_o be_v by_o our_o working_n with_o

therefore_o if_o man_n will_v but_o open_v their_o eye_n they_o may_v easy_o see_v what_o work_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o when_o he_o say_v election_n be_v not_o of_o work_n but_o of_o this_o more_o plain_o anon_o second_o i_o answer_v although_o god_n see_v adam_n will_v fall_v yet_o he_o see_v he_o a_o creature_n first_o or_o else_o he_o can_v not_o have_v foresee_v he_o will_v fall_v when_o he_o be_v a_o creature_n therefore_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n and_o not_o of_o confusion_n 1_o cor._n 14.33_o and_o forseeth_a all_o thing_n orderly_o and_o not_o confuse_o so_o then_o i_o conclude_v that_o first_o he_o see_v adam_n create_v second_o he_o see_v he_o fall_v and_o all_o his_o postery_n in_o his_o loin_n three_o he_o see_v christ_n crucify_v for_o they_o four_o he_o foresee_v the_o gospel_n preach_v to_o all_o man_n in_o their_o generation_n five_o he_o foresee_v all_o man_n receive_n or_o refuse_v believe_v or_o not_o believe_v obey_v or_o disobey_v his_o gospel_n in_o their_o several_a generation_n as_o it_o be_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v communicate_v to_o the_o end_n of_o all_o age_n in_o order_n at_o once_o and_o see_v as_o well_o then_o what_o man_n will_v do_v in_o their_o age_n and_o generation_n to_o come_v as_o they_o do_v know_v themselves_o when_o their_o life_n and_o action_n be_v finish_v god_n can_v thereupon_o make_v up_o his_o election_n and_o reprobation_n choose_v or_o elect_v obedient_a believer_n according_a to_o his_o foreknowledge_n to_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o refuse_v and_o reprobate_v disobedient_a unbeliever_n to_o eternal_a death_n and_o damnation_n and_o thus_o be_v election_n and_o reprobation_n to_o be_v consider_v according_a to_o the_o sorekowledge_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n or_o out_o of_o christ_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n which_o if_o well_o consider_v it_o will_v put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o the_o confuse_a and_o distract_a thought_n in_o man_n about_o these_o thing_n but_o it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o will_v yet_o object_v that_o i_o hold_v faith_n and_o obedience_n in_o we_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n elect_v or_o choose_v we_o to_o life_n and_o glory_n answ_n that_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o obedience_n to_o christ_n be_v a_o cause_n without_o which_o god_n choose_v none_o to_o life_n and_o salvation_n i_o affirm_v because_o we_o never_o read_v that_o god_n choose_v any_o disobedient_a unbeliever_n to_o life_n and_o glory_n which_o live_v and_o die_v so_o but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n for_o which_o he_o do_v choose_v any_o i_o shall_v utter_o deny_v and_o show_v the_o contrary_a in_o the_o order_n of_o cause_n thus_o suppose_v i_o shall_v affirm_v my_o obedience_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o my_o election_n to_o salvation_n than_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o my_o obedience_n answ_n my_o love_n to_o christ_n but_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o my_o love_n to_o christ_n answ_n the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n viz._n that_o he_o die_v for_o my_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o my_o justification_n without_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o believer_n for_o take_v away_o christ_n and_o take_v away_o faith_n and_o then_o believe_v who_o can_v but_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o we_o answ_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o but_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o christ_n die_v for_o we_o answ_n even_o god_n great_a love_n of_o pity_n wherewith_o he_o love_v we_o even_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n
