The Contents of the Chapters.
CHAP. I. That there is a Reprobation.
CHAP. II. What Reprobation is.
CHAP. III. Of the Antiquity of Reprobation.
CHAP. IV. Of the Causes of Reprobation.
CHAP. V. Of the Unchangableness of Eternal Reprobation.
CHAP. VI. Whether to be Reprobated, be the same with being appointed before-hand unto eternal Condemnation? If not, how do they differ? Also whether Reprobation be the cause of Condemnation?
CHAP. VII. Whether any under eternal Reprobation have just cause to quarrel with God for not Electing of them?
CHAP. VIII. Whether eternal Reprobation in its self, or in its Doctrine, be in very deed an hindrance to any man in seeking the salvation of his Soul?
CHAP. IX. Whether God would indeed and in truth, that the Gospel, with the Grace thereof, should be tendred to those that yet he hath bound up under eternal Reprobation? Answered in the Affirmative.
CHAP. X. Seeing then that the Grace of God in the Gospel, is by that to be profered to Sinners, as Sinners; as well to the Reprobate as the Elect; Is it possible for those who indeed are not Elect, to receive it, and be saved? Answered in the Negative.
CHAP. XI. Seeing it is not possible that the Reprobate should receive this Grace and live, and also seeing this is infallibly fore-seen of God; and again, seeing God hath fore-determined to suffer it so to be; Why doth he yet will and command that the Gospel, and so Grace in the general Tenders thereof, should be profered unto them? Answered, and cleared by five Reasons, and the Removing of three Objections.
