ind God was pleased, aecording to the unsearchable counsel of his own will,
„hereby beextendeth or withholdeth mercy, as he pleaseth, for the glory
Ehis sovereign power over his creatures, to pass by, and to ordain them to

der Vorlage sind §8 3 und 4 getilgt; § 5, nach neuer Zählung § 3, lautet: God,
hefore the fonndation ol the world was laid, according to his eternal and
wmutable purpose, and the secret counsel and good pleasure of his will,
nath predestinated some of mankind unto life, and hath particularly and
anchangeably bosen them in Christ unto everlasting glory, out of his méere
sree grace and love, without any foresight of jaith and g⁰0οd works, or per-
everance in either of them, or any other thing in the creature, as conditions,
rcauses moving him thereunto; and all to the praise of his glorious grace.
Die vorgeschlagene Fassung des 7., nach neuer Zählung des 5. Paragraphen lautet:
The rest of mankind God was Pieasael. according to the unsearchable counsel
of his νn will, Whereby be extendeth or withholdeth mercy as he pleaseth,
not to elect unto everlasting life, but to ordain them to dishonor and wrath
kor their sin, to the praise of his glorious justice; yet so as thereby neither
is any limitation put upon the offer of salvation to all, upon condition 0f
faith in Christ; nor is restraint laid upon th fréeedom of any one to binder
bis acceptance of this offer. Kap. VIII, S 5 lautet in der vorgeschlagenen
Fassung: The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedlenee and sacrisice of himself,
wnich he through the eternal spirit once offered up unto God, hath 2— 31
satisficd Divine justice, and purchased not only reconciliation, but an ever-

sacrifice or the Lord Jesus Christ, a way of life and salvation sufficient for
and adapted to the whole lost race of man; and he doth fréely offer this
salvation to all men in the Gospel. In § 2 heißt es: This fréc and universal
offer of the Gospel is accompanied by the Holy Spirit, striving with and
entreating men to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Daneben bleibt aber das
bisherige X. Kapitel „O0f Effectual Calling,“ in welchem die wirksame oder erfolg⸗
reiche Berufung auf die Auserwählten beschränkt ist und gelehrt wird, §4: Others,
not eléected, although they may be called byethe ministry of tlie word, and
may have some common operations of the spirit, yvet inasmuch as they
never truly come to Christ, they can not be saved. Der den Befürwortern der
Revision anstößigste Satz des Bekenntnisses, §3 dieses Kapitels, der anhebt: Plect
infants, dying in infancy, are regenérated and saved by Christ through the
Spirit, wbo werketh when, and where, and how he pleaseth, lautet in der
Vorlage: 4// iniants ying in infancy, and aιι other persons, who, from birth
to death, are ineapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the
word, are redeemed by Christ and regenéerated by the Spirit, who worketh
