But, (3.) That the decree of God gives to no man a right to the thing concerning which the decree is, is fo far from being a fugcient proof of the major, that it is in it felf very quellionable, if not nnquenionably falfc. That the decree . gives not being and exinence to the things concerning which it is, is an old rule. That no right fhoald from it arife, unto that thing by virtue thereof, is not yet fo clear. Right is but fin : jus off quad juffu,n f. If it be jut/. or right, that any one fhould have fuch a thing, he is faid to have a right thereunto. Now, fuppofmg the decree of God, II that a man (hall by fuch means, have fuch a thing, is it not ¡oft, equitable and condecent unto íighteongtcfs that he Mould have it? But yet further, (g.) We arenot at all fpeaking of a right founded on God's decrees (which confidering what was propofed to be proved by this argument ; I wonder how it found any mention here) (a) but upon two other things.
