Chapter 3

We believe the most good God to have, before the foundation of the world, predesti-

nated unto glory those whom He hath chosen, without having in any wise regard to their works, and having, forsooth, no actuating cause for this election, except His good pleasure, the Divine mercy. In like manner to have, before the world was, rejected those whom He hath rejected; and of this rejection, if any one will look to the absolute power and authority of God, he will find the undoubted cause to be the Divine Will; and, if again any one will turn to the laws and rules of the good order which the Providence above useth in the governing of the world, he will perceive the cause to be His righteousness. For God is merciful, and withal righteous.
