ists at the Synod of Dort answered with what has become known as the Five Po

ame for man's eternal punishment upon man himself for rejecting, by his own
free will, the gospel, which he could have accepted through God's gracious e
nabling; whereas the Calvinists laid sin itself and the damnation of man tot
ally upon God who simply predestined everything to turn out that way. A. W.

The State of the Netherlands, in its concern for unity among its citizens, o
rdered both parties to meet to iron out their differences. Six leaders from
each side met in the Hague on March 31, 1611, but failed to reach an agreeme
nt. While the Arminians pleaded for tolerance, the Calvinists were determine
d to convene a national conference to have their opponents declared heretics
. Of course, the view at that time was that the state would exact the prescr
ibed penalties upon heretics, up to and including death. | R*o
