John Trapp on Ephesians 1:5

Verſe 5. Having predeſtinated us] Interpreters have obſerved that this word that ſignifies to predeſtinate is but ſix times found in the new Teſtament (never in the old) being referred but twice to things, Act. 4.28. & 1. Cor. 2.7. four times to perſons. Rom. 8 29, 30. Epheſ. 1.5, 11. and never applied to reprobates, but to elect perſons only. Howbeit Divines under predeſtination do uſually conſider the decree both of election and reprobation. The doctrine hereof men ſhould not adventure to teach till they have well learned and digeſted it. In the year 1586. Iacobus Andreas the Lutheran, and Theodore Beza conferred and diſputed for eight daies ſpace at Mompelier: the iſſue of which conference was unhappy; Alſted. Chron p. 562. for form that time forward the Doctrine of Predeſtination was much miſuſed and exagitated.
