Interesting thoughts from Le Blanc. This would seem to put him in the supra-lapsarian camp, no? "They enlarge the word “predestination” too much who bring in to it the decree itself of creating man, and of permitting his fall." And interestingly, the line immediately prior seems this would not be agreeable to Westminster, which states that God decrees "whatsoever comes to pass": "creation seems less suitably to be placed among the effects of predestination." I find these two statements difficult to discern. He seems to be saying predestination does not include creation but yet the object of predestination is man qua created (or qua creatable?).
