[error 57] 1. THere are two partes of this question: first, whether Gods decree, concer∣ning the election of men be certaine and vnchangeable: secondly, whe∣ther a man in this life may in himselfe bee assured of his election. The first our aduersaries dare not plainely affirme: for it were great blasphemie open∣ly to say, that Gods decree may bee changed: yet they doe in circumstance of speech affirme it: as Rhemist. Act. 27. sec. 3. (Men cannot bee saued, though they bee predestinate, vnlesse they keepe Gods commaundements.) As though it were possible for men predestinate, not to keepe the commande∣ments of God, or in the end not to be saued. Likewise it was concluded in the Councell of Trent, sess. 6. can. 23. that the grace of iustification may be lost: which is as much to say, that a man may lose his predestination: for none are iustified, but whome God before hath predestinate, Rom. 8.30. They can∣not therefore fall away from the grace of iustification, vnles they fall away from predestination.
