I tell you again, God hath not ordinarily decreed the end without the means; and if you will neglect the means of salvation, it is a certain mark that God hath not decreed you to salvation. But you shall find that He hath left you no excuse, because He hath not thus predestined you.
Richard Baxter (1830). “The practical works of ... Richard Baxter, with a life of the author and a critical examination of his writings by W. Orme”, p.315
