The Exception.
To this Argument they answere: first, by saying it is but a weake one, and that by the iudgement of Mr. Caluin: secondly, by denying both antecedent and the conse∣quence.
The Antecedent, because (say they) God doeth not alwayes call for repentance first; but sometimes for faith in Christ. Acts 10.43. and though he did yet is faith included.
The consequence; for (say they) it doth not follow, that because repentance was the first Doctrine that was preached, therefore it was the first grace that was wrought in the hearers: first, because when God calleth for any grace, none of the rest are excluded; but included rather. Acts 16.31. Secondly, because that which is first placed, is not alwayes first wrought, the last in words may be the first in sense.
