refutation_n first_o of_o all_o i_o say_v thou_o do_v unwise_o in_o this_o place_n to_o dispute_v either_o of_o the_o love_n or_o hatred_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n for_o neither_o be_v it_o demand_v here_o whether_o he_o have_v hate_v any_o but_o whether_o he_o have_v reject_v any_o which_o two_o be_v diverse_a thou_o notwithstanding_o haste_v deem_v one_o i_o will_v speak_v more_o plain_o that_o

to_o be_v prosecute_v with_o hatred_n and_o last_o to_o be_v damn_v but_o thou_o be_v deceive_v in_o that_o which_o deem_v that_o god_n do_v first_o hate_v any_o man_n before_o he_o assign_v he_o

a_o other_o of_o the_o slanderer_n argument_n to_o create_v to_o perdition_n be_v not_o of_o love_n but_o of_o hatred_n therefore_o he_o create_v none_o to_o perdition_n refutation_n as_o this_o

who_o soever_o it_o please_v he_o to_o his_o hatred_n and_o therefore_o to_o destruction_n neither_o that_o that_o be_v discrepant_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v

that_o he_o have_v hate_v he_o who_o he_o have_v predestinate_a to_o destruction_n and_o that_o true_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o hatred_n and_o destruction_n be_v manifest_a to_o we_o that_o be_v

all_o injustice_n 23_o for_o as_o oft_o as_o a_o evil_a man_n sin_v either_o against_o himself_o or_o some_o other_o like_o evil_n god_n bring_v to_o pass_v without_o all_o sin_n that_o either_o the_o

these_o example_n of_o his_o judgement_n god_n do_v recreate_v and_o comfort_v he_o 24_o but_o so_o oft_o as_o the_o wicked_a annoy_n the_o good_a they_o in_o deed_n sin_n &_o at_o the_o last_o be_v

glorious_a 25_o yet_o these_o evil_a instrument_n can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o obey_v god_n because_o albeit_o god_n do_v execute_v his_o work_n by_o they_o yet_o they_o so_o much_o as_o in_o they_o be_v &_o that_o appertain_v there_o counsel_n and_o will_n they_o do_v not_o the_o work_n of_o god_n but_o their_o own_o work_n for_o which_o they_o be_v worthy_o punish_v for_o albeit_o it_o be_v good_a which_o god_n work_v by_o the_o wicked_a yet_o whatsoever_o she_o evil_o do_v be_v evil_n 26_o norfolk_n avail_v the_o consequence_n god_n do_v all_o thing_n therefore_o he_o commit_v sin_n for_o the_o name_n of_o sin_n agree_v not_o but_o with_o a_o deprave_a quality_n which_o whole_o be_v in_o the_o do_v instrument_n 27_o but_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o deprave_a quality_n the_o work_n which_o by_o itself_o be_v but_o one_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n make_v two_o and_o double_a and_o that_o so_o much_o that_o one_o resist_v the_o other_o that_o be_v the_o just_a work_n of_o god_n the_o unjust_a work_n of_o man_n by_o direct_a contrary_n 28_o yet_o god_n work_v other_o way_n by_o good_a instrument_n than_o by_o evil_n for_o over_o and_o above_o that_o he_o do_v his_o own_o work_n by_o good_a instrument_n the_o good_a instrument_n also_o do_v his_o work_n with_o that_o strength_n and_o efficacy_n which_o god_n give_v they_o the_o lord_n final_o do_v his_o own_o work_n by_o they_o &_o in_o they_o he_o also_o work_v to_o will_n and_o do_v so_o oft_o as_o the_o lord_n execute_v the_o just_a counsel_n and_o deer●es_n of_o his_o eternal_a will_n by_o the_o wicked_a as_o by_o satan_n or_o man_n in_o that_o they_o be_v not_o negenerate_a he_o advance_v his_o own_o strength_n and_o efficacy_n in_o his_o work_n by_o they_o either_o not_o know_v or_o against_o their_o will_n but_o yet_o in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o do_v his_o work_n the_o lord_n work_v not_o in_o they_o but_o let_v loose_v the_o reins_n of_o satan_n whereto_o also_o he_o give_v the_o wicked_a to_o be_v

may_v do_v yet_o so_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v he_o do_v it_o mosteiust_o and_o most_o just_o suffer_v what_o soever_o he_o suffer_v
in_o god_n there_o can_v be_v no_o difference_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a albeit_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v god_n after_o his_o peculiar_a and_o proper_a manner_n he_o be_v cause_n of_o all_o
