I Joe's, xn n1vn\I1' r\I'\n By the decree of God, for the manifesta- tion of His glory, some men are pre- destined to everlasting life, and others fore-ordained to everlasting death. These are particularly -and unchangeably de- signed, and their number is so certain and denite that they can neither be increased nor diminished. The rest (not elect) of mankind God was pleased to pass by and to `ordain to wrath for their sin to the praise of His glorious justice. Elect in- fants dying in infancy are saved, others cannot be saved. By Adam's fall men became wholly de- led in all the faculties -and parts of body and mind, utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to all :good." (Chap.

We believe that ,God, out of His great love for the world, has given `His Son to be Saviour of sinners, and in the Gospel freely offers His all-sufficient salvation to all men.
