Wanting all between V2 and 2A1 that is p.149-176. "It seems probable that p. 149-176, which apparently contained the Third doubt, were cancelled since those pages are lacking" -- Sabin.
"[John] Cotton composed a manuscript treatise on God's decrees which he shared with a neighbouring minister. Cotton stressed the demonstration of God's justice and grace in the decree of predestination and portrayed reprobation as non-election. ... This scribal publication came into the hands of William Twisse, who argued that Cotton's views came dangerously close to the Arminian heresy" -- ODNB.
