CONSIDERATION.

He keepes his course to afford thee the best comfort his doctrine yeelds, which is as much as is incident to a Reprobate, and how that should make thee conceive better of thy selfe, then as of a Reprobate, I doe not perceive, Gods meaning is that as many as heare the Gospell should believe and repent ex officio; that is, that it shall be their duty, for he commands it: but he hath no meaning to bestow on all and every one the grace of faith and repentance, as appeares by experience. And if God did will they should de facto believe and be saved, then either God is not able to bring them to faith and to save them, or else his will is changed. In like sort if it were his will that all and every one should know his truth, then God is not able to make all and every one know his truth, for it is apparent that all doe not; it is apparent that all have not the Gospell; The Apostle saith, That God will not have any of us to perish but all to come to repentance: he doth not say he would but he will: And this is true of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, such as the Apostle speakes of, believers and elect. But as for others, the Scriptures plainly professe, that God blinds them, hardens them; and of Israell in the wildernesse, The Lord (saith Moses) hath not given you an heart to perceive, nor eyes to see, nor eares to heare unto this day. Deut: 29. 4. He calls all that heare the Gospell indifferently by the Mi∣nistry of the Word, but he openeth not the heart of all to attend unto it, as to the Word of God, like as we read he opened the heart of ••idia. Acts. 16. 14.
