THE word "predestinate" signifies, according to the _Imperial Dictionary_, "to predetermine or foreordain," "to appoint or ordain beforehand by an unchangeable purpose." The noun, according to the same authority, denotes the act of decreeing or foreordaining events; the act of God, by which He hath from eternity unchangeably appointed or determined whatsoever comes to pass.

The Larger and Shorter Catechisms express the same idea.
