Christ in Iohn aunswered of the man borne blynd Neither hath this man sinned nor his parentes that he should be borne blynd but that the glory of God should be made manifest Also Peter and Paul when they were put to death could not complayne that they had not deserued death Although God when they were killed had not a respect vnto this to punishe thē What God regardeth in the martyrdome of his sainctes but that by their bloud might be left a testimony of the Gospell of his sonne Wherefore seing the matter is so and we be al subiect vnto sinnes there is no cause why we should complayne that God dealeth to seuerely with vs if we be afflicted for the sinnes of our parents For God can so directe those troubles The scourges of the children profite sometymes the parentes that they shall pertayne not onely to hys glory but also to the saluation of our parentes For oftētymes he punisheth the parents in the children and the prince in the people For the parentes are no les grieued for the punishement of their childrē then if they themselues wer afflicted If the children dye for the parētes cause they haue no wrong done vnto them for death is also dew vnto then they should otherwise haue dyed Wherfore if God will so vse their death he may doo it iustly The grieues of the children are the grieues of the parents Which thing also we may affirme of other calamityes For if the sonne be vexed with sickenes he deserued the sickenes if he haue lost money thē hath he lost thinges transitory and vnstable and which were geuen hym on that condition that they mought easely be taken away agayn God as touching the regenerate turneth punishmēts into medicines Wherfore if god will with these kindes of calamityes punish the parentes in the children he can not be accused of iniustice Wherfore Augustine in his questions vpon Iosua the 8. question by originall sinne sayth he many punishements are dew vnto vs which yet God conuerteth into certayne medicines and maketh them very much to profite vs although they seme vnto vs euil For if the sonne had lyued peraduēture he would haue followed the euill steppes of his father or els committed woorser things Wher fore if God take him out of this life he can not complayne that he is ill delt with For through the benefites of god his death redoundeth to his profite For he is taken away least by malice his heart should chaūge And vndoubtedly we must suffer easy euils to atteyne vnto great good thyngs For so the Phisitions with a bitter purgation trouble the throte to restore the sicke person to hys former health In lyke maner when we haue deserued punishmentes God yet turneth them to good By this means discipline is kepte in the worlde And by this meanes saith Augustine a certayne discipline is established in the world For vnles it were so men would continually proue worse and worse A certayne coniunction also and society of mankinde is declared whē one after this maner is punished for the sinne of an other For they whiche pertayne vnto one kingdome or City or Churche are after a sorte one body among themselues And in the body one mēber suffereth for an other Wherfore seyng thys is so in the body it is not absurde that the same do chaunce also in the society of men Plutarche Plutarche in his booke de Sera numinis vindicta hath very well taught this The eye saith he is sicke the vayne of the arme is cut so the father hath sinned and the sonne is punished the prince hath behaued himselfe ill and the people is vexed and such compassion or suffring together is there in things humane That author iustly accuseth the rashenes of men 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 whiche as often as these thynges doo chaunce do complayne that God dealeth cruelly For the father sayth he is either good or euill If the sonne of a good father be peraduenture afflicted with euill straightway they crye out that God doth vniustly neither is it meete that the sonne should be so miserably handled which had so good a man to his father But if the father be euill and the sonne come into misery agayne they make exclamation that here also god is vniust For the sonne ought not to haue ben punished when as the father sinned wherfore the common people thinke that the sonne should by no meanes be afflicted But what if the father be euill and yet all thinges go prosperously with the sonne here also they cōplayne as he sayth of the iniustice of god For they deny it is iust that then the sonne should lyue prosperously whiche hath so euill a father These thinges this man thoughe he were an Ethnike writeth very godltly Children are certayn partes of the parentes Moreouer we must consider that children are as certayn partes of the parētes and haue somewhat of the parentes in them Wherfore it is not absurde if God punish the part of the parentes in the children But I will returne to Augustine who saith the god by this meanes setteleth discipline in the world in the publique wealth in the Churche and in the famely Whose saying in any iudgement can not be discōmēded for if the children be punished for the sinnes of their parētes they haue nothing wherof to complayne They owe vndoubtedly this duty vnto their parentes for of them they haue that they are Wherfore if they leaue theyr lyfe for them they haue no wrong done them For they render vnto them that whiche they receaued of them If god shoulde saye vnto them I will vse your punishment to the saluation of your parētes they can by no right refuse it Iohn sayth that euery one ought so to loue his brother to be ready to lay euen his life for him And if we must geue our life for our brother how much more ought we to geue it for our father God vseth sundry instrumentes wherwith he draweth men vnto him Why then should he not vse either the sickenes or death of the children either for the chastenyng or for the saluation of the parentes Augustine in his .8 Augustine The lesser part iustly suffreth punishment for the greater question vpon Iosuah whiche I haue oftentymes alledged sayeth That it is iust that the lesser part suffer punishement for the greater as in that hystory it happened bycause of the sacrilege whiche Achan committed A fewe fel in the battaile and the whole multitude was absolued Hereby we vnderstād how great the anger and vengeance of God would haue bene if the whole multitude had sinned when as the sinne of one manne was so excedingly punished And Plutarche in that booke whiche a little before I brought This thing sayth he also the Capitaynes doo in their hostes If there be any thyng commonly committed of all they put the tenth manne to death that by the punishment of a fewe the rest

inhabiters who going out of Capadocia How regions are sayde to bee deuided by lot destroyed them and in their place inhabited those Regions And in Deuteronomy the .xxxii. chapter it is wrytten when God by lot deuided the Gentiles and the people according to the number of the Chyldren of Israell In that it is sayde to be done by lot al that is to be referred vnto our vnderstandyng whiche see not the causes of thinges But wyth God nothing is done by lot God hath distributed the nacions according to the number of the chyldren of Israel For the Israelites were not yet increased when God put the people in those Regions who at the laste gaue place vnto the Israelites when they came Neyther ought we to be offended if by this distribution oftentimes fertil and fat landes happen vnto the vngodly For Augustine in hys .4 Augustine booke De ciuitate dei the .xxxiii. chapter sayth That giftes whiche dure but for a tyme happen both to the iust and vniust For God maketh his sunne to shyne both vpon the good and the euyll and rayneth vpon the iust and vniust But by this common benefite the godly haue this commoditye onely that they vnderstande that these thinges are not the chiefest gyftes which wee oughte to looke for bycause these are common both to the good and to the euyll But the godlye wayte for other more excellent which are not common to the good and euyll Yea and Danyel saith The name of the Lord be blessed for euer for it is he whiche transferreth kingdomes and driueth out the first inhabiters and bringeth in other Neither doth he onely bring men into Prouinces but also setteth Aungels to rule ouer them as we there reade of the Prince of the Persians and Grecians And he hath not onely deuided men by landes but also by tounges and manners Farther we must remember that these mutacions were not done onelye at the begynning but also in the latter times For the Frenche men possessed Gallia and the Englishe Saxones Britane but the Britanes heing cast out by them found new places in Gallia by power and violence and that part whiche they obtayned they called Britane of them selues The men of Gallia also of late going out of their own borders possessed a great part of Italy The Hunnes subdued vnto themselues the Pannonites and called the Countrey Hungaria So God distributeth kyngdomes casteth out some and bringeth in other some as it seemeth good vnto his iust iudgement which is secrete For the earth is the Lordes and the fulnes thereof This distribution chaunced euen from the beginning to the sonnes of Noe and afterwarde to those whych builded the Tower of Babel for God dispersed them throughout the whole world Now I wyl declare by what meanes God is wont to geue kyngdomes God distributeth kingdom● of his mere liberality He geueth them of his owne liberalitye no right compelling him thereunto That is the true manner of gifte which otherwyse is not a gift vnlesse it be free And yet nothing letteth but that God by the dutyes and obedience of godlye men may be prouoked to geue He geueth in deede often tymes manye thinges vnto godly men but yet of no dutye For there hath bene none at anye tyme so godlye that he coulde desyre any thing of God as his owne by right For hee muste doo hys dutye though God geue nothing And yet is a gyft a certayne reward which although it be free and geuen wythout any right compelling thereunto neuerthelesse bicause it is after a sorte bestowed vpon duties it hath a shewe of a rewarde So in Ezechiel God gaue a gift vnto the king of Babilon Bycause sayth he he laboured in the siege of Tire I wyll geue vnto hym the lande of Egipt Ther ar also amongest men recompences A gift in way● of reward when one office is recōpenced with an other office These also are voluntarye neyther can they bee demaunded by iudiciall action and therefore they are counted among giftes But we haue nothing which we can geue vnto him We haue nothinge to geue vnto God Wherfore if we attempt to bring any thing vnto him we render vnto him his owne And therfore there is no respect of merite to be referred in vs towarde him Wherefore God geueth liberally no law compelling hym thereunto Giftes maye be reuoked But it may be demaunded whether suche giftes maye bee reuoked Why should they not when as the giftes of men also are sometimes reuoked as it is in the Code De reuocatione donacionum First if they haue condicions annexed to them whych haue not bene performed And after that manner vndoubtedlye God gaue the lande of Chanaan to the Chyldren of Israell namelye that they shoulde woorshyppe hym not onely in ceremonies but also in good manners and holynes But seing thys condicion was not performed God iustlye reuoked hys gyfte and ledde them awaye captiue and gaue the lande vnto the Babilonians Assirians Egiptians and Romanes A great ingratitude also of hym that is endued wyth the gifte debilitateth the gyft for if he be so ingrate that he wyll bee contumelious and reprochefull vnto the geuer the gift is then reuoked So God in Ezechiel complayneth I haue clothed thee with vestures and garmentes of sundrye coulours thou haste made those proper vnto Idolles and haste geuen them to Baal Therefore wyll I take away my garmentes from thee Giftes of God are wythout repentaunce and my clothings of sundry coulours c But thou wylt say the giftes and vocation of God are wythoute repentaunce as it is wrytten to the Romanes I graunt that but the chaunging is in vs and not in God For if we shall continue thankefull and stande to the condicions the gyft shoulde be firme and ratefied Farther Paule in that sentence spake of gyftes and calling whych come vnto men by the eternal predestination of God and not of those which are geuen but onely for a time Wherefore seing God had not for the causes before rehearsed cast out the Israelites from the lande of Chanaan the gift remayned ratefied and whole And Iiphtahs argument drawen of it hath his strength and sure foundacion Moreouer it may also seeme that God gaue that lande vnto the Israelites in the name of a dowry for he woulde after a sorte wedde vnto hymselfe the Churche of the Iewes The land was geuen vnto the Israelits with out any iniury to the Chananites and geue vnto it somewhat for a dowry And yet gaue he not that lande vnto them to the iniury of the Chananites For they were vngodly and defiled with most grieuous wicked actes as it appeareth in the .xx. chap. of Numbers Neither coulde they complaine that they were cast out wrongfullye wherefore Iiphtah doth verye well make his argument from the gift of God He addeth farther the third argument deriued from prescription VVe haue now sayth hee possessed thys lande three hundred yeares Therefore thou doest
