of strong faith that can believe that God will give his Gospell to every of these in particular, that they might come to the saving knowledge of the truth.

The distinction of antecedent and consequent will, hath no place in this matter, because such are to be understood as have most egregiously abused the common grace of God received. Moreover, we shall never find in Scripture, that the faithfull ever made such prayers: but as God hath signified his will and pleasure concerning the calling and gathering of his people, Jews or Gentiles, so they have prayed, as we may pray for the fulnesse of the Gentiles, and calling of the Jews, wherein we doe not exclude any, though we know God hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, and gives the grace of repentance, and to repent also, to whom he please, the habituall grace serving for the one, and the actuall and effectuall motion of Gods Spirit being requisite to the other.
