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

of_o the_o world_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v it_o and_o as_o christ_n say_v in_o another_o case_n the_o scripture_n can_v be_v break_v therefore_o the_o wisdom_n of_o all_o christian_n be_v

that_o it_o be_v so_o before_o god_n who_o call_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o as_o though_o they_o be_v and_o so_o he_o call_v abraham_n the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n though_o he_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o no_o not_o the_o father_n of_o isaac_n in_o who_o his_o seed_n shall_v be_v call_v the_o like_a may_v again_o be_v observe_v when_o he_o call_v christ_n a_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n rev._n 13.8_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o slay_v many_o thousand_o year_n after_o therefore_o the_o same_o may_v again_o be_v consider_v about_o god_n election_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o will_v thus_o god_n call_v abraham_n a_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n though_o not_o so_o god_n call_v christ_n a_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n though_o not_o slay_v many_o thousand_o year_n after_o till_o he_o be_v a_o man_n in_o the_o flesh_n even_o so_o he_o call_v man_n elect_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n though_o not_o elect_v many_o thousand_o year_n after_o till_o they_o be_v man_n in_o the_o flesh_n yet_o it_o be_v all_o so_o and_o do_v before_o god_n who_o forsee_v and_o know_v all_o thing_n even_o from_o

the_o day_n of_o judgement_n by_o all_o which_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o as_o

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

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

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
