unto_o itself_o by_o mean_n of_o peace_n love_n and_o union_n the_o devil_n strive_v to_o subject_v every_o thing_n under_o his_o dominion_n by_o mean_n of_o division_n hatred_n and_o discord_n therefore_o such_o effect_n be_v direct_v unto_o such_o a_o detestable_a and_o perverse_a end_n as_o destruction_n we_o can_v attribute_v they_o to_o god_n to_o who_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o perfection_n be_v not_o only_o repugnant_a to_o be_v author_n of_o evil_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v but_o also_o to_o will_v it_o or_o desire_v it_o and_o if_o any_o self-weening_a or_o peevish_a man_n shall_v contrary_v this_o allege_v the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n who_o say_v there_o be_v no_o evil_a do_v in_o the_o city_n but_o god_n do_v it_o and_o likewise_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o nine_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n where_o he_o seem_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n be_v cause_n of_o the_o evil_n which_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n he_o may_v satisfy_v himself_o with_o the_o father_n of_o the_o church_n ordinary_a exposition_n of_o those_o place_n consider_v that_o in_o evil_a or_o sin_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n whereof_o the_o one_o be_v the_o material_a of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o physical_a action_n or_o real_a execution_n to_o which_o god_n do_v positive_o concur_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o creature_n to_o do_v any_o real_a act_n without_o the_o ordinary_a concurrency_n of_o the_o creator_n since_o that_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n life_n and_o be_v preserve_v through_o he_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v those_o text_n which_o prove_v god_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o evil_a but_o the_o formal_a and_o malicious_a part_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o deformity_n of_o it_o and_o privation_n of_o righteousness_n depend_v only_o from_o our_o free_a and_o absolute_a will_n and_o not_o positive_o from_o god_n because_o if_o that_o be_v so_o god_n shall_v not_o only_o go_v against_o his_o supreme_a perfection_n of_o be_v god_n but_o shall_v also_o be_v unjust_a in_o punish_v man_n he_o not_o be_v the_o true_a and_o immediate_a cause_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o we_o must_v free_o confess_v that_o the_o proper_a and_o essential_a cause_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o maliciousness_n of_o our_o will_n deprave_v both_o by_o itself_o and_o by_o the_o devil_n temptation_n and_o though_o we_o find_v in_o holy_a scripture_n that_o many_o time_n god_n punish_v one_o sin_n with_o another_o as_o pharaoh_n insolency_n with_o the_o hardness_n of_o his_o heart_n the_o pharisee_n incredulity_n with_o blindness_n we_o can_v for_o all_o that_o say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o evil_a because_o that_o although_o those_o which_o god_n punish_v with_o consider_v in_o themselves_o be_v sin_n yet_o if_o they_o be_v consider_v as_o effect_n of_o the_o divine_a justice_n to_o which_o belong_v to_o reward_v and_o punish_v every_o one_o according_a to_o their_o desert_n they_o ought_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v so_o call_v and_o so_o our_o conclusion_n always_o remain_v true_a that_o enmity_n war_n discord_n division_n and_o other_o such_o like_a accident_n be_v work_n of_o the_o devil_n chap._n iii_o that_o it_o be_v monstrous_a in_o nature_n for_o one_o to_o persecute_v another_o that_o be_v of_o his_o own_o likeness_n any_o speculative_a understanding_n will_v be_v quite_o astonish_v and_o full_a of_o wonder_n if_o he_o consider_v the_o abyss_n of_o chimaera_n falsehood_n deceit_n persecution_n and_o garboil_n which_o pride_n and_o ambition_n do_v breed_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o so_o detestable_a and_o perverse_a a_o end_n as_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o particular_a creature_n of_o the_o same_o

any_o that_o will_v abuse_v and_o persecute_v another_o of_o the_o same_o species_n or_o kind_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v very_o well_o who_o leave_v it_o to_o we_o for_o a_o proverb_n that_o man_n with_o man_n be_v like_o unto_o a_o wolf_n since_o that_o this_o beast_n cruelty_n in_o tear_v in_o piece_n a_o poor_a kid_n be_v not_o great_a than_o the_o rigor_n and_o tyranny_n of_o a_o brutish_a

that_o one_o man_n towards_o another_o be_v a_o man_n declare_v unto_o we_o that_o his_o fierceness_n surpass_v the_o fierceness_n not_o only_o of_o these_o but_o also_o of_o all_o other_o beast_n whereof_o there_o be_v not_o any_o that_o abhor_v from_o the_o preservation_n of_o its_o own_o species_n and_o nature_n and_o if_o we_o do_v in_o truth_n consider_v this_o point_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o among_o creature_n there_o be_v not_o any_o which_o have_v more_o ground_n or_o reason_n to_o humble_v itself_o and_o to_o love_v the_o particular_n of_o its_o kind_n nor_o less_o reason_n to_o
