as it were for a time hid and buried so that a man would thinke it were vtterly quenched 46 which God suffereth that men might knowe their owne weakenes yet it doth neuer so far leaue thē that the loue of God their neighbor is a together plucked out of their hearts For no man is iustified in Christ who also is not sanctified in him 47 and framed to good works which God prepared that we should walke therein 48. This is thē the way wherby God by his mercie doth prepare to the full execution of his eternall counsell them amongst his elect whō it pleaseth him to reserue till they come to ripe age and discretion As touching the other whō he calleth into his kingdome so soone as they are borne or in their tender yeeres he vseth a more short way For seeing he doth comprehend in that his free couenant whereof Iesus Christ is the Mediator 49 not onely the faithfull but also their posteritie 50 into a thousand generations 51 calling the same by expresse words holy 52 there is no doubt but the children of the Saints which appertain to election whom hee onely knoweth he hath giuen to his Sonne who will not cast them out 53. CHAP. V. After vvhat sort almightie God doth execute effectually declare his counsell touching reprobation BY these things whereof we haue now spoken it may easily appeare hovv God maketh them to goe to their owne place 1 whom he created to that end that hee might bee glorified in their iust condemnation For as Christ the second heauenly Adam is the foundation and very substance and effect of the elects saluation so also the first earthly Adam because hee fell is the first author of the hate and so consequently of the damnation of the reprobate 2. For when God mooued vvith those causes which he only knoweth had determined to create them to this end to shew forth in them his iust wrath and power 3 likewise he did orderly dispose the causes meanes whereby it might come to passe that the whole cause of their damnation might be of themselues as hath been declared before in the third Chap. When man then was fallen willingly into that miserable estate wherof wee haue spoken in the chap. before God who hateth iustly the reprobate because they are corrupt in part of thē hee doth execute his iust wrath so soon as they are borne 4 and towards the rest that be of age whom he reserueth to a more sharpe iudgement hee obserueth two waies clean contrary one to the other For as concerning some he sheweth them not so much fauour as once to heare of Iesus Christ in whom onely is saluation 5 but suffereth them to walk in their owne waies 6 and run head long to their perdition And as for the testimonies that God hath left to them of his diuinitie 7 serue them to no other vse but to make them without all excuse 8 and yet through their owne default seeing their ignorance and sack of capacitie is the iust punishment of that corruption wherein they are borne And surely as touching that that they can attaine vnto in knowing GOD by their light or rather naturall darknes albeit they neuer failed in the way but so continued 9 yet were it not in no wise sufficient for their saluation For it is necessarie for vs that shall be saued that we knowe God not onely as GOD but as our Father in Christ 10 the which mysterie flesh and bloud doth not reueale 11 but the Son himselfe to them whom his Father hath giuen him 12. As concerning others their fall is more terrible 13. For hee causeth them to heare by preaching the outward word of the Gospel 14 but because they are not of the number of the elect beeing called they heare not 15 and forasmuch as they are not able to receiue the spirit of truth 16 therefore they cannot belieue because it is not giuen vnto them 17 vvherefore when they are called to the feast they refuse to come So that the word of life is follie vnto them an offence 18 and finally the sauour of death to their destruction There are yet others vvhose harts almighty God openeth to receiue and belieue the things that they heare but this is with that generall faith whereby the diuels belieue and tremble 20. To conclude they which are most miserable of all those climbe a degree higher that their fall might bee more grieuous for they are raised so high by some gift of grace that they are a little mooued with some taste of the heauenly gift 21 so that for the time they seeme to haue receiued the seed and to be planted in the Church of God 22 and also shew the way of saluation to others 23. But this is plaine that the spirit of adoption which we haue said to be onely proper vnto them which are neuer cast forth 24 but are written in the secret of Gods people 25 is neuer cōmunicated to thē for were they of the elect they should remaine stil with the elect 26 All these therefore because of necessitie yet willingly as they vvhich are vnder the slauerie of sin 27 return to their vomit 28 and fall away from faith 29 are plucked vp by the roots to be cast into the fire 30. I meane they are forsaken of God 31 who according to his will the which no man can resist 32 and yet for all that because of their corruption wickednesse 33 hardeneth thē 34 maketh their hearts fatte stoppeth their eares and blindeth them 35 and to bring this to passe he vseth partly their owne vile cōcupiscences to the which he hath giuen them vp to be ruled and led by 36 and partly the spirit of lyes who keepeth them wrapt in his snares 37 by reason of their corruption from the which as out of a fountaine issueth a continuall flowing riuer of infidelitie ignorance and iniquitie whereby it followeth that hauing as it vvere made a shippe-wrack of their faith can by no meanes escape the day which is appointed for their destruction that God may bee glorified in their iust condemnation CHAP. VI. Of the last and full execution and accomplishment of Gods eternall counsell aswel towards the elect as the reprobate FOrasmuch as God is iustice it selfe it is necessary that he should saue the iust and condemne the vniust Now they amongst men are onely iust who beeing by faith ioyned to Christ 1 grafted 2. rooted in him 3 made one body with him 4 are iustified and sanctified in him and by him whereof it followeth that the glorie to the which they are destinate 5 to the glory of God 6. appertaineth to them as by a certaine right or title On the other part they vvhich remaine in Adams pollution and death are iustly hated of GOD and so condemned by him not excepting so much as them vvhich die before they sinne as Adam did 7. But both these maners
