Predestination

Occulta esse causa potest, injusta esse non potest.

Dispute not why some Angels stood,
And others fell, which were by nature good:
Dispute not, wherefore God doth take and chuse
Some to his grace, and others doth refuse:
The potter doth of the same lump of clay
Make vessels some more base, and some more gay;
And shall we question Gods most secret will,
Why his own creatures he doth save or kill?
Who's sav'd, or damn'd, none knows: who look
Into the Lords Predestination-book?
The signs or symptoms which Election prove,
Are lively faith, and undefiled love.
I will serve God, and shake off sinful slumber,
Who knows but I am of th' elected number?
