The question of God's eternal Predestination is not curious, or unprofitable, but of great importance, and very necessary in the Church of God.
A Confession of Faith by Theodore Beza

It is suggested that before purchasing this entry that you check out the 'click-on' image and that you also read the book description found lower down on the same webpage. Both of those locations reveal that this entry is limited to Beza's understanding of the doctrine of predestination. A literal reading of the title of the book without this further research would seem to infer its contents to be of a far broader and more comprehensive scope. Quotes from this entry include:"This election or predestination to everlasting life, being considered in the will of God (that is to say) this same determination, or purpose to elect, is the first fountain and chief original of the salvation of God's children: neither is it thereon grounded, as some say, because God did foresee their faith, or good works: but only of his own good will, whence afterwards the election, the faith, and the good works spring forth."
"Therefore God did this in such sort, and with such wisdom, that the whole fault of the reprobates' damnation lies in themselves: and on the other side, all the glory and praise of the elects' salvation belongs wholly in his only mercy."
"And this is done, as we said before, that he might show the riches of his glory towards he vessels of mercy: and his wrath and power upon those vessels, which he has made to set forth his glory by their shame and confusion. For the final end of God's counsel is neither the salvation of the elect, nor the damnation of the reprobate: but the setting forth of his own glory, in saving the one by his mercy, and condemning the other by his just judgment."
"It is most evident, that they who teach that man's salvation either in part or wholly depends and is grounded in works, destroy the foundation of the Gospel of God. And to the contrary, they that teach justification freely by faith, ground on a sure foundation, but so, that they build upon that eternal counsel of God, whereupon Christ himself, and the Apostle Paul following Christ's steps, grounds his doctrine."
"For first by the knowledge hereof, we shall learn humbly to submit ourselves to the majesty of God, so that the more we shall fear and reverence him, the more we ought to labor to confirm ourselves the testimony of our election in Christ."
"Finally, when we see the doctrine of the Gospel not only despised of all the world, but also cruelly persecuted: and when we see so great falsehood and rebellion amongst men, what thing can better confirm and fortify us, than to be assured that nothing chances by fortune, and that God knows his, and that they which commit these things (except God turn their hearts) are those which are predestined, not by chance, but by the sure and eternal counsel of God, to be as it were a glass, wherein the anger and power of God does appear."
