1. Tim. 2. 25.
The text.
But the seruant of our Lord must not wrangle, but be mild towards all men, apt to teach, patient, with modestie admoni∣shing them that resist the truth: least sometime ∴ God giue them repentance to know the truth.
The note.
Conuersion from sinne and heresie is the gift of God, and of his speci∣all grace, yet heere we see good exhortations and praier, and such other helps of man be profitable thereunto: which could not be if we had not freewill.
The answer.
That conuersion from sin is the gift of God, and that all helps by man, which God hath thereto appointed are néedfull and ne∣cessarie it is manifest, but it is impossible, that the industrie of man should do good,* 1.1 where God createth not a new hart, and re∣neweth not a right will. For the will and wisedome of man is enimitie to God. And so appéereth the vanitie of your conclusion for frée will.
