John Calvin was explicit on this:
By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he determined with himself whatever he wished to happen with regard to every man. All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestinated to life or to death.
(Institutes of the Christian Religion - Book 3, Chapter 21, Section 5)
An astonishing statement from a Christian. You cannot equate the Arminian view with this. It is almost like holding God to account for being omniscient. The gospel should not not be preached because one knows they won't believe. God's foreknowledge is based on seeing that they never believed each time they were presented with the gospel.
