"What are we contending for, but that the simplicity and purity of the Christian doctrine should prevail, and that those things should be left and disregarded, which have been invented and introduced with it, by men?"

Free Will

"God foreknows nothing by contingency, but that He foresees, purposes, and does all things according to His immutable, eternal, and infallible will.  By this thunderbolt, free will is thrown prostrate, and utterly dashed to pieces.  Those, therefore, who would assert free will, must either destroy this thunderbolt, or pretend not to see it, or push it from them."
