ver rokill Vriati from Gos, but not a porver of appliinque this
porvor in speciat to the killins of Veial from God, but frum his
omn Pree. will; that is he had apover tobill Deian. but not
10 exereise it upon Vrizh, tbat is cosay, he had a po verto keill

e Buc it che cale De Duc why Cud doch punistr one more

vecis irrelistible, or meeriy becaule icis his pleasure, is nOc
omely noc warranced, bur is piainlys condemned by Sc. Pant
in chis place.
Inoce first that hehathno reason 1o say. L’e case acitated
betmeenus, is whether the cause rhy God puniseth one man
more than another be his irresistible pover, or mans sin. Tho
ease acitatedbetmeenus is, Wbether a mon can nom choose
hat sall be his Nill anon, or at any time bereatter. A
cain tis not erue chat he Cayes tis myopinion that the irresi-
stible porver et God, is the cause rohy he punistech one more than
onother. T lay onely that roien he doth so, the irresistible
pover is enouch to mate it not unjust. But chat
thecanse Why God punisheth one more than anotber, is many
timesthe nill be hath to som his porver, is affirmedinthis place
by St Paul, Shall ehe enins Formed, Cay eo him chac Formed

Parenes; buc chac che wortis oF Crod max be made manitest.
And by the expostulation of God mith 10b. Fhis endeavour
of his tobrine thetext of St. Paulto his purpose, is not onelr
frustrate, but the cause of mony insignificant phrases in his
aiscourse; as this, IE was in cheir oin pover by cheir con-
