*Of Divine Predestination*
As all men have sinned in Adam, lie under the curse, and are obnoxious to eternal death, God would have done no injustice by leaving them all to perish, and delivering them over to condemnation on account of sin, according to the words of the Apostle (
Rom. iii. 19
), 'that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God;' (
ver. 23
) 'for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;' and (
vi. 23
), 'for the wages of sin is death.'
