19. The Non-Election of some, agreeable to the Wisdom, and consistent
with the Goodness of God.
IT is agreeable to the Wisdom of Gods Government, to De∣cree
the salvation of some, but not of all; And in not de∣creeing
the salvation of all, there is no want of Goodness in
God. For that any miss of Salvation, it is not through any o∣mission
on God's part, but through mens neglect to do their part.
That the Non-Elect are not under an impossibility of being sa∣ved
is evident from the Position before proved, That the
negation of Gods Decree doth not infer an impossibility of the
Event.
