The Belgic Confession, 1561
ARTICLE 16—DIVINE ELECTION
We believe that, when the entire offspring of Adam plunged
into perdition and ruin by the transgression of the first man, God manifested
Himself to be as He is: merciful and just. Merciful, in rescuing and saving from
this perdition those whom in His eternal and unchangeable counsel He has elected
in Jesus Christ our Lord by His pure goodness, without any consideration of
their works. Just, in leaving the others in the fall and perdition into which
they have plunged themselves.
