There was no reason on the part of the Elect why they should be chosen, and not others, Mal. 1.2. Was not Esau Jacobs brother, saith the Lord? yet I loved Jacob. As much as if it had been said, What preheminence had Jacob more than Esau, when I made my Election? Was not Esau Jacobs brother? Did not Esau and Jacob stand upon equal ground? and might I not have taken one as well as another? Nay Esau was the elder brother, yet, saith God, Jacob have I loved. There is no dignity or worth in the Elect why they should be chosen more than others: |
