Romans9:11

Verſe 11. For the children, &c.] Here the Apoſtle wadeth into that profundum ſine fundo, Predeſtination.

Being not yet born] Sapores ſon of Miſdates, King of Perſia, began his raign before his life. For his father dying left his mother with childe, and the Perſian Nobility ſet the Crown on his mothers belly, acknowledging thereby her iſſue for their Prince, before ſhe as yet had felt her ſelf quick. God elects not of fore-ſeen faith or works, but of free-grace.
