say_v god_n set_v they_o in_o slippery_a place_n that_o man_n that_o shall_v now_o see_v pharaoh_n so_o stout_a and_o herod_n so_o proud_a stay_v but_o a_o while_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v one_o drown_v in_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o other_o eat_v up_o of_o louse_n again_o though_o god_n suffer_v good_a man_n to_o be_v afflict_v of_o the_o wicked_a it_o be_v for_o their_o good_a it_o be_v to_o fit_v they_o for_o god_n and_o glory_n it_o be_v to_o rub_v off_o their_o rust_n and_o rubbish_n and_o fit_v they_o for_o god_n and_o last_o i_o say_v as_o st._n austin_n do_v stay_v but_o till_o the_o day_n of_o recompense_n and_o there_o will_v appear_v no_o proportion_n between_o the_o wicked_n prosperity_n here_o and_o their_o suffering_n hereafter_o so_o also_o between_o the_o suffering_n of_o good_a man_n here_o and_o their_o eternal_a happiness_n geographer_n tell_v we_o the_o world_n be_v round_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o hill_n and_o mountain_n in_o it_o but_o how_o can_v that_o be_v why_o they_o say_v all_o these_o hill_n and_o mountain_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o circumference_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v nothing_o so_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o good_a and_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a may_v seem_v great_a to_o we_o here_o yet_o compare_v they_o to_o eternity_n and_o they_o be_v nothing_o suppose_v a_o person_n be_v condemn_v to_o death_n for_o high-treason_n and_o his_o uncharitable_a friend_n shall_v come_v and_o make_v he_o merry_a and_o drink_v whereby_o he_o forget_v his_o condition_n do_v you_o envy_v this_o poor_a man_n this_o happiness_n when_o perhaps_o in_o two_o or_o three_o hour_n he_o must_v be_v hang_v so_o if_o you_o can_v see_v a_o wretch_n in_o hell_n after_o 40_o year_n of_o prosperity_n on_o earth_n he_o will_v tell_v you_o he_o have_v pay_v dear_a for_o his_o happiness_n therefore_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a upon_o earth_n be_v no_o more_o a_o stain_n to_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n than_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n upon_o a_o stink_a dunghill_n do_v reflect_v on_o the_o sun_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a say_v of_o dionysius_n all_o thing_n that_o be_v see_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o second_o cause_n when_o they_o once_o come_v to_o god_n hand_n he_o turn_v and_o order_n they_o to_o excellent_a purpose_n those_o thing_n that_o be_v unjust_a in_o respect_n of_o man_n yet_o be_v righteous_a as_o they_o be_v instrument_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n providence_n as_o suppose_v thy_o child_n or_o thy_o servant_n shall_v prove_v wicked_a and_o undutiful_a to_o thou_o this_o be_v unjust_a in_o respect_n of_o they_o but_o as_o they_o be_v instrument_n to_o punish_v thy_o sin_n they_o be_v just_a upon_o that_o account_n i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o first_o inference_n by_o stir_v you_o and_o myself_o up_o to_o the_o contemplate_v and_o admire_v the_o goodness_n wisdom_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o govern_v the_o action_n of_o wicked_a man_n this_o be_v the_o masterpiece_n of_o god_n providence_n as_o isa_n 27.29_o this_o also_o come_v from_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n who_o be_v wonderful_a in_o counsel_n here_o we_o see_v in_o the_o high_a sense_n sampson_n riddle_n verify_v that_o god_n can_v bring_v meat_n out_o of_o the_o eater_n and_o honey_n out_o of_o the_o carcase_n and_o i_o tell_v you_o tho'_o we_o now_o quarrel_v at_o atheism_n debauchery_n and_o wickedness_n god_n shall_v make_v manifest_a at_o the_o last_o day_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n have_v work_v together_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o they_o that_o serve_v he_o and_o that_o we_o can_v not_o well_o have_v be_v without_o the_o malice_n and_o spite_n of_o wicked_a man_n so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o inference_n the_o second_o inference_n be_v this_o that_o the_o concurrence_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sin_n of_o wicked_a man_n do_v not_o excuse_v nor_o extenuate_v their_o sin_n nor_o diminish_v their_o punishment_n i_o be_o here_o belove_v upon_o another_o deep_a point_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n his_o decree_n and_o his_o order_n and_o govern_v of_o sinful_a man_n do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o excuse_v they_o from_o gild_n or_o punishment_n though_o god_n bring_v good_a out_o of_o their_o evil._n st._n paul_n propose_v and_o answer_v the_o question_n rom._n 3.7_o if_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v more_o abound_v through_o my_o lie_n unto_o his_o glory_n why_o then_o be_o i_o reckon_v a_o sinner_n and_o not_o rather_o as_o we_o be_v slanderous_o report_v and_o some_o affirm_v that_o we_o say_v let_v we_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v who_o damnation_n be_v just_a that_o be_v why_o shall_v god_n count_v they_o sinner_n or_o punish_v they_o as_o sinner_n that_o have_v be_v instrument_n to_o serve_v his_o providence_n this_o objection_n some_o people_n make_v use_v of_o not_o only_o among_o heathen_n but_o christian_n you_o shall_v have_v they_o say_v i_o can_v not_o help_v it_o if_o god_n have_v not_o put_v i_o upon_o it_o i_o shall_v never_o have_v do_v it_o i_o remember_v a_o story_n of_o a_o woman_n a_o harlot_n that_o have_v three_o bastard_n son_n which_o afterward_o come_v to_o be_v very_o great_a and_o eminent_a person_n as_o peter_n lombard_n gracian_a and_o comestor_n and_o when_o afterward_o she_o be_v come_v to_o confession_n she_o say_v she_o can_v not_o confess_v herself_o sinful_a in_o this_o matter_n because_o her_o son_n prove_v all_o such_o brave_a men._n but_o i_o shall_v refute_v this_o opinion_n by_o these_o five_o consideration_n first_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v not_o give_v to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o action_n but_o his_o command_n the_o rule_n of_o our_o action_n be_v his_o command_n and_o not_o what_o he_o do_v in_o his_o providence_n as_o st._n austin_n say_v we_o may_v will_v what_o god_n will_v in_o his_o providence_n and_o yet_o sin_n a_o parent_n lie_v sick_a his_o good_a son_n be_v trouble_v use_v all_o mean_n for_o his_o recovery_n god_n have_v decree_v his_o death_n he_o die_v the_o son_n be_v trouble_v why_o the_o son_n in_o all_o this_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n though_o it_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o his_o decree_n so_o a_o wicked_a son_n may_v wish_v his_o father_n death_n and_o god_n decree_v it_o also_o he_o die_v yet_o though_o this_o will_n in_o the_o son_n be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n secret_a and_o providential_a will_n it_o be_v sinful_a the_o rule_n of_o our_o action_n be_v not_o what_o god_n will_v but_o what_o god_n have_v command_v we_o to_o do_v in_o his_o word_n if_o god_n providence_n will_v excuse_v sin_n no_o wicked_a man_n or_o devil_n can_v have_v be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n second_o i_o answer_v wicked_a man_n do_v not_o aim_v at_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o their_o sin_n nor_o at_o the_o good_a god_n intend_v to_o bring_v about_o by_o they_o their_o aim_n be_v different_a from_o god_n aim_n as_o herein_o joseph_n say_v to_o his_o brethren_n thou_fw-mi thought_n evil_a against_o i_o but_o god_n mean_v it_o for_o good_a isa_n 10._o the_o prophet_n say_v god_n will_v send_v a_o heathen_a prince_n against_o the_o hypocritical_a nation_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o punish_v they_o but_o it_o be_v say_v he_o mean_v not_o so_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o do_v god_n work_n but_o all_o his_o end_n be_v to_o enlarge_v his_o dominion_n three_o the_o good_a that_o follow_v from_o wicked_a action_n be_v not_o a_o natural_a effect_n of_o sin_n but_o come_v only_o from_o the_o over_o roll_a power_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v mere_o accidental_a to_o the_o sin_n as_o for_o example_n sin_n be_v direct_o naught_o no_o creature_n can_v bring_v good_a out_o of_o it_o when_o a_o man_n sin_n he_o be_v say_v to_o break_v god_n law_n and_o so_o to_o reproach_v and_o dishonour_n god_n himself_o now_o if_o god_n contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n shall_v occasion_v good_a by_o it_o sin_n be_v never_o the_o less_o sin_n as_o for_o example_n poison_n be_v never_o the_o less_o poison_n because_o a_o wise_a physician_n know_v how_o to_o make_v a_o antidote_n out_o of_o it_o to_o expel_v poison_n four_o it_o follow_v also_o that_o it_o be_v righteous_a with_o god_n to_o punish_v wicked_a man_n though_o they_o be_v instrument_n to_o serve_v his_o providence_n by_o their_o sin_n god_n may_v use_v they_o and_o yet_o they_o deserve_v punishment_n because_o god_n punish_v they_o for_o their_o evil_a intention_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o sin_n herod_n and_o pilate_n and_o judas_n all_o go_v to_o hell_n when_o god_n have_v do_v with_o they_o so_o absalon_n when_o god_n have_v by_o he_o punish_v david_n than_o he_o take_v he_o away_o last_o do_v not_o the_o intention_n
