ROM. VTIL 29, 30.
For nhom he did foretnom; he also did predestinate
de conform a to dhe Imace of his Son, that he
miehs be sc First- born amone many Brethrens
Moreover, uhiom he did predestinate, them he
aso calla, utuom he calld, then he also justi-
fyd; and nhom he justisy d, them he also elo-
risus
N these words the ApoRle lays donn
the sereral Reps by which cod procceds
in the Pavine oF his Flect. Ist, HC
tnons and considers thole, nhom he
detiens for Salvation. 2aly, Ile decrees
and predestinates them eo De like his
Son Jelus Christ, in Holiness here and Glorr hereaster, thac
he miobe be the First. Born amons mans Brethren. 3dly-
Ile calls ehem eo the means oF salvation. atblu, He justi-
Aes. And Lasly, HC elorities them. This is the Chain
and Scries ol Gods dealins mith his beloved; in ihich he
is represented eo us as trst delignins, and then execurine his
gracious purposes tomaras them.
Iam rers sensible, chac sreat Contentions and Diritione
hare happen d in the Church of God about Predestinarion and
Reprobation, about Election and the Decrees ot 60d; thac
Learned Men hare engasd with che greatest ZCal and
Fiercenels in this Controversy, and the Disoutes hare provd
1o incricate, thac the most diligent Reader rill perhaps atrer
all his labour in peruline them, De buc licele Paristy d, and lels
edity d, by chegrearek part ot all chat has bcen rrritien upon
this Subieet. And hence ic is, thac considerine Men oF aII
Parties Peem at laH, as it mere by consent, to have laid it a-
side; and seldam ans non venture to brins ic into che Pul,
Dit, excepe some very vouno or imprudent P’reachers.
Noc but that theDoctrine laid donn in ny Pexc, is un-
doubrecls erue and usetul, il e could bur liehe on the true
and ulerul ras et ceacns i; for (o our Church has told
us in her serentlenn cele, irhere Me informs us, Thac
un ibc 6da C onstabiation ot Fredestination is full et suectus
pleasant.
