both profitable and iust.
[proposition 4] Although both the godlie and vngodlie are mooued for the said cause, against the iudgments of God, yet is there a difference betwéene them, as well such as is betwéene the incontinent and intemperate, as also bicause the one sort repent, and the other obstinatlie persist in their sinne.
[proposition 5] A couenant is an agréement of certeine a∣mong themselues, whereby euerie of them pro∣miseth that he will giue somthing; & in like ma∣ner he himselfe requireth something of others.
[proposition 6] Miracles by themselues make no firme ar∣gument of doctrine, vnlesse they doo agrée with the word of God.
[proposition 7] God will otherwhile haue miracles doone by the aduersaries of religion, that the godlie by such kind of temptation may be tried; and that the vngodlie, being the more blinded thereby, may be punished for their vngodlinesse.
[proposition 8] The miracles, which the sorcerers of Pharao shewed, were not the full and perfect cause of his incredulitie.
[proposition 9] Repentance is of thrée sorts; the first is per∣fect and whole, which dooth please God: another is temporall, vpon which God bestoweth some thing: the third is hypocriticall, the which God dooth detest.
Probable.
[proposition 1] THe name
Shadai, if it signifie omnipotent, it ought chéeflie to be respected in the pro∣mises of God; for it is required, that we should thinke he can performe those things, which he hath promised; but the name
Iehouah, when God performeth his promises (for it is deriued from his essence:) and God, both in act, & in the thing it selfe, bringeth to passe those things, which he hath promised.
[proposition 2] If the name
Shadai signifie sufficient of him∣selfe, it was verie much vsed of the old fathers, when they obteined their wealth and riches of God: but the name Iehouah was then first vt∣tered, when God began to shew foorth miracles: for thereby is shewed, that it is in God to inuert both the nature and being of things at his plea∣sure.
[proposition 3] When the sorcerers of Pharao said; It is the finger of God, they yéelded not a true confession vnto God.
[proposition 4] Why Pharaos sorcerers rather failed in the third signe than in the rest, we are not able to giue a certeine and sure reason.
