the_o chief_a good_a and_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n can_v be_v author_n of_o any_o evil_n now_o evil_a be_v take_v two_o way_n 1._o evil_a of_o sin_n 2._o evil_a of_o punishment_n and_o i_o say_v god_n simple_o and_o in_o all_o respect_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o neither_o 1._o not_o of_o sin_n for_o thou_o be_v a_o god_n that_o hate_v wickedness_n neither_o 4._o

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

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

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

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
