The note.
That God is not the cause of any mans reprobation or damnation, otherwise then for punishment of his sins, he sheweth by that he expecteth all mens amendment with great patience, and consequently that they haue also freewill.
The answer.
The cause and matter of mans damnation is in himselfe. And yet God did prepare the wicked, or damned to be vessels of igno∣minie, or dishonor. It is wel that you rake so diligently amongst the vngodly and reprobate for your fréewill: For they sin frank∣ly and fréely. And if you finde it not amongst the slaues of sinne, you shall finde it no where. But I haue told you, and do tell you againe that this fréedome to do euill, is the seruitude of sinne, and that therefore this fréewill cannot do any thing but sinne.
