Those of man-kinde that are predestinated unto Life, God, before the foundation of the world was laid, according to his eternall and immutable purpose, and the secret Counsell and good pleasure of his Will, hath chosen, in Christ, unto everlasting glory,a out of his meer free grace and love, without any fore-sight of Faith, or Good-works, or perseverance in either of them, or any other thing in the creature, as conditions, or causes moving him thereunto:b and all, to the praise of his glorious grace.c
