334 The Sublap(arians dog rine ding that will conceive it contrary to juflice, or contrary tomercy, for God in things of this nature to do as he will with his own.

And this we call abfolute I'redeflination. Nor will he think it unjua for God abfolutely to decree the permitting of force other angels and men to lofe eternall bleffedneffe by their owndefault, and to decree the putting them tinder Mich an order ofprovidence as he in- fallibly knoweth they will abide to the pro- curingof their certain mifery. And this we call ablolure Reprobation.. Neither of thefe are decrees of remunerativeor vindi- cative juflice : theyarenot grounded upon any antecedent promife or irdentment: And therefore his whole difcourfe to prove that Gods juflice is the felf-fame with the civil or morali juflice of men, is here altogether impertinent.
