The
predestination
of
God
is
the
preparation
of
grace
,
and
grace
is
the
very
effect
of
predestination
.
When
therefore
God
promised
to
that
the
Gentiles
should
beleeve
in
his
seed
,
he
made
not
this
promise
with
respect
to
the
power
of
our
will
,
but
out
of
his
owne
predetermination
:
for
hee
promised
that
which
hee
himselfe
would
doe
,
and
not
what
men
would
doe
.
Hath
he
not
said
,
Not
of
workes
,
but
of
him
that
beleeveth
?
Hee
hath
taken
wholly
even
this
from
man
,
that
he
might
attribute
the
whole
to
God
.
Let
us
understand
the
vocation
,
by
which
they
are
made
the
Elect
,
not
as
if
they
were
chosen
,
because
they
had
beleeved
,
but
they
are
chosen
,
that
they
may
beleeve
.
For
if
they
were
therefore
chosen
,
because
they
had
beleeved
,
they
had
chosen
him
first
be
beleeving
in
him
,
that
they
might
so
come
to
be
chosen
.
