Absolute Predestination by Jerome Zanchius
In whom we also have been chosen to an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of the One working all things according to the counsel of His will (Ephesians 1:11)Zanchius (1516-1590) created his age-enduring classic in response to the challenges of those who persisted in charging God with being the Author of sin because He says in the Scriptures that He predestinated all things that come to pass.

God leaves all men with a freedom to will, but in their total depravity all choose to will only what is evil in the eyes of God. For,
