Romans9:16
16. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy .
q. d. God's Election is not of Iacob's, or of any other Man's willing or running, i. e. It is not from his good Desires or Deeds, his good Inclinations of Actions, or from the fore-sight thereof; but it is of God's meer mercy and good pleasure. This Text wounds Pelagianism under the fifth Rib. Nec volenti, nec volanti, was the Motto of a Noble Personage.
