FIVE POINTS. DISCOURSE I. Concerning Election and Reprobation. The State of the Question.

As for example: let us suppose the number of mankind to be two millions, if out of these, one million only, by the decree of Election, be infallibly appointed to eternal life, and abfolutely distinguished from others, not only as to their number, but their persons also; who can deny but that one million, and those certain, as to their persons, are as absolutely comprised under the decree of Reprobation, as the others were under the decree of Election."
