A Short View of the Antinomian Errors, Errata
In the entrance of any anſwer to the firſt errour in this booke, I left the decree of God till faith and calling, becauſe I would barre them from flying thither; but i… may be they will want courage, to face the Canon of Gods Word, and … for ſhelter to the dec…ees of God; and ſay God hath decreed to juſtifie them before faith or calling; but theſe ſigge leaves will not cover their nakedneſſe, for did God decree to ju…ifie them, and then decree to give them faith and to call them? this is but another errour; for doubtleſſe God decreed to give his people faith, and to call them at the ſame time when he decreed to juſtifie them, and all with one ſimple act from all eternity; but what meanes thoſe other words? they are juſtified as ſoone as they have any being; will they ſay the child muſt firſt be borne before God decree to ſave it? and if they ſay by this word being, they meane in the decree of God, then I demand, what they meane by thoſe words, as ſoone as they had any, &c. will they ſay, there was time beyond the decree of God, thus they are in a circle not knowing where to get out. This ſhould have beene inſerted at the end of the anſwer to the firſt Errour, Pag 6.
Good Reader, I pray thee correct ſuch faults in this Booke, as by overſight hath eſcaped the Preſſe; as page 2. line 17. for righteouſneſſe, read righteouſneſſes, and for the Title on certaine pages, a briefe Anſwer, read a briefe and plaine Anſwer; and for the names of thoſe that profeſſe this hereſie here condemned, for Antenomeans and Antinomeans, read Antinomians.
FINIS.
