motion_n and_o every_o action_n be_v from_o god_n and_o therefore_o every_o sin_n to_o this_o it_o be_v brief_o answer_v that_o in_o every_o sin_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v 1._o the_o act_n 2._o the_o obliquity_n 3._o obligation_n to_o punishment_n 1._o for_o the_o act_n we_o say_v it_o be_v from_o god_n 36._o rom._n 11._o 36._o for_o of_o he_o and_o in_o he_o and_o for_o he_o be_v all_o thing_n i._n aswell_o action_n as_o substance_n as_o augustine_n say_v 2._o the_o obliquity_n or_o corruption_n of_o 20._o aug._n to_o 7._o the_o great_a &_o lib._n arb_n c._n 20._o the_o action_n be_v only_o from_o man_n and_o no_o way_n from_o god_n as_o from_o a_o efficient_a cause_n thereof_o neither_o shall_v this_o seem_v strange_a to_o any_o man_n that_o in_o the_o self_n same_o sinful_a thing_n the_o action_n and_o the_o obliquity_n of_o the_o act_n two_o different_a thing_n act_n we_o consider_v the_o act_n and_o the_o obliquity_n of_o the_o act_n and_o do_v affirm_v the_o one_o to_o be_v from_o god_n and_o therefore_o good_a and_o the_o other_o from_o our_o self_n and_o therefore_o evil_a for_o howsoever_o the_o obliquity_n do_v always_o reside_v in_o the_o act_n as_o privation_n in_o a_o subject_n yet_o they_o be_v two_o distinct_a thing_n and_o may_v in_o our_o understanding_n admit_v a_o separation_n of_o the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o the_o action_n must_v needs_o be_v good_a or_o else_o the_o obliquity_n can_v not_o subsist_v for_o sin_n have_v not_o any_o be_v in_o rerum_fw-la natura_fw-la if_o we_o consider_v it_o simple_o in_o itself_o but_o as_o it_o be_v subsistent_a in_o some_o subject_n that_o be_v good_a as_o the_o philosopher_n do_v most_o true_o affirm_v and_o therefore_o we_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o be_v nothing_o that_o do_v subsist_v in_o rerum_fw-la natura_fw-la whether_o it_o be_v a_o substance_n or_o a_o action_n that_o can_v be_v so_o evil_a but_o it_o be_v also_o good_a but_o in_o diverse_a respect_n as_o evil_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o privation_n of_o good_a and_o good_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o subject_n wherein_o this_o privation_n of_o good_a do_v inhere_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o although_o every_o action_n be_v from_o god_n yet_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o obliquity_n of_o the_o action_n be_v from_o man_n but_o then_o again_o it_o be_v object_v that_o god_n know_v we_o will_v commit_v the_o sin_n when_o we_o do_v commit_v the_o act_n and_o he_o know_v adam_n will_v sin_v when_o he_o create_v adam_n and_o therefore_o he_o shall_v either_o hinder_v we_o to_o sin_n or_o not_o complain_v that_o we_o do_v sin_n i_o answer_v that_o knowledge_n be_v a_o sin_n the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n that_o man_n will_v sin_v be_v not_o the_o cause_n that_o he_o do_v sin_n mere_a concein_v of_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n proper_a to_o the_o understanding_n and_o not_o to_o the_o will_v can_v work_v any_o thing_n outward_o and_o therefore_o can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o any_o thing_n for_o i_o know_v that_o a_o old_a man_n must_v needs_o die_v and_o that_o a_o rot_a house_n will_v soon_o fall_v if_o it_o be_v not_o re-edify_v and_o yet_o i_o be_o the_o cause_n of_o neither_o even_o so_o deus_fw-la nos_fw-la peccatores_fw-la noscit_fw-la sed_fw-la non_fw-la facit_fw-la god_n know_v that_o we_o will_v sin_v but_o he_o do_v not_o cause_v we_o to_o sin_n say_v saint_n augustine_n anima_fw-la aug._n l._n 7._o d●_n anima_fw-la and_o i_o confess_v that_o god_n can_v as_o easy_o hinder_v sin_n as_o to_o suffer_v sin_n to_o be_v commit_v and_o can_v as_o easy_o have_v hinder_v adam_n to_o have_v sin_v as_o to_o forgive_v he_o when_o he_o have_v sin_v for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o god_n suffer_v sin_n against_o his_o will_n because_o he_o can_v hinder_v it_o for_o that_o do_v derogate_v from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n but_o upon_o just_a reason_n and_o for_o many_o excellent_a cause_n he_o make_v man_n so_o that_o he_o may_v either_o stand_v or_o fall_v 1._o to_o show_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o mutable_a why_o god_n make_v man_n mutable_a creator_n and_o the_o creature_n for_o immutability_n be_v proper_a only_o unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o make_v all_o intelligible_a creature_n both_o man_n and_o angel_n so_o that_o they_o may_v either_o stand_v or_o fall_v 2._o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o praiseworthy_a if_o they_o do_v stand_v or_o most_o just_o conden_v if_o they_o do_v fall_v nam_fw-la si_fw-la diabolus_fw-la seductionis_fw-la potestatem_fw-la 55._o chrys_n oper_n imperfect_a ho._n

saint_n chrysostome_n and_o so_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n make_v man_n so_o that_o he_o may_v stand_v or_o fall_v and_o there_o be_v many_o reason_n why_o he_o suffer_v he_o and_o do_v suffer_v all_o other_o to_o fall_v into_o sin_n among_o which_o i_o find_v these_o three_o reason_n chief_o allege_v 1._o for_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o justice_n fall_v why_o god_n suffer_v adam_n and_o all_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n to_o fall_v in_o the_o punish_n of_o all_o sin_n 2._o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o the_o pardon_v of_o many_o sin_n 3._o for_o the_o suppression_n of_o our_o pride_n and_o the_o declaration_n of_o our_o weak_a and_o miserable_a estate_n that_o without_o his_o especial_a grace_n we_o can_v keep_v and_o preserve_v ourselves_o from_o any_o sin_n but_o yet_o further_o it_o will_v be_v object_v ob._n that_o the_o scripture_n seem_v plain_o to_o attribute_v the_o very_a sin_n unto_o god_n as_o the_o lord_n turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o egyptian_n 105._o psal_n 105._o that_o they_o shall_v hate_v his_o people_n and_o deal_v untrue_o with_o his_o servant_n that_o he_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o the_o heart_n of_o eglon_n and_o such_o like_a 3._o judg._n 3._o i_o answer_v that_o in_o every_o sin_n there_o be_v three_o concur_v agent_n to_o be_v consider_v and_o the_o sin_n be_v ascribe_v sometime_o to_o

to_o the_o devil_n &_o to_o man_n by_o who_o we_o receive_v power_n to_o do_v every_o action_n and_o motion_n and_o as_o the_o voluntary_a sufferer_n of_o the_o obliquity_n or_o pravitie_n of_o the_o action_n for_o the_o reason_n above_o show_v and_o thus_o god_n be_v say_v to_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o wicked_a or_o to_o deliver_v 20._o psal_n 81._o 13._o rom._n 1._o aug._n tom_n 7._o
