EDITOR'S ADVERTISEMENT.

'What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.'
–Romans 11:7

CHAPTER 1. That there is a Reprobation.
CHAPTER 2. What Reprobation is.
CHAPTER 3. Of the Antiquity of Reprobation.
CHAPTER 4. Of the causes of Reprobation.
CHAPTER 5. Of the Unchangeableness of Eternal Reprobation.
CHAPTER 6. 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?
CHAPTER 7. Whether any under Eternal Reprobation have just cause to quarrel with God for not electing of them?
CHAPTER 8. Whether Eternal reprobation in itself, or in its doctrine, be in very deed an hindrance to any man in seeking the salvation of his soul.
CHAPTER 9. Whether God would indeed and in truth, that the gospel, with the grace thereof, should be tendered to those that yet he hath bound up under Eternal Reprobation?
CHAPTER 10. Seeing then that the grace of God in the gospel, is by that to be proffered 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?
CHAPTER 11. Seeing [that] it is not possible that the reprobate should receive this grace and live, and also seeing [that] this is infallibly foreseen 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 proffered unto them?
