A DISPLAY OF
ARMINIANISM
BEING
A DISCOVERY OF THE
OLD PELAGIAN IDOL FREE-WILL, WITH THE
NEW GODDESS CONTINGENCY,
ADVANCING
THEMSELVES INTO THE THRONE OF THE GOD OF HEAVEN, TO THE
PREJUDICE OF HIS GRACE, PROVIDENCE, AND SUPREME
DOMINION OVER THE CHILDREN OF MEN;
Wherein
THE MAIN ERRORS BY
WHICH THEY ARE FALLEN OFF FROM THE RECEIVED DOCTRINE OF ALL
THE REFORMED CHURCHES, WITH THEIR OPPOSITION IN DIVERS PARTICULARS
TO THE DOCTRINE ESTABLISHED IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND,
ARE DISCOVERED AND LAID OPEN OUT OF THEIR OWN
WRITINGS AND CONFESSIONS, AND CONFUTED
BY THE WORD OF GOD.
Produce your
cause, saith the LORD: bring forth your strong reasons, saith
the King of Jacob.—
Isaiah 41:21.
Woe unto him that
striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the
potsherds of the earth.—
Isaiah 45:9.
