• By the decree of God, for the manifestation of
  his glory, some men and angels are predestined
  unto everlasting life, and others foreordained to
  everlasting death. These angels and men, thus
  predestined and foreordained, are particularly
  and unchangeably designed and their number is so
  certain and definite that it cannot be either
  increased or diminished
