further_o it_o must_v be_v consider_v what_o sin_n be_v it_o be_v not_o a_o substance_n nor_o yet_o any_o subject_n or_o habit_n in_o a_o subject_n but_o only_o a_o defect_n and_o privation_n as_o

in_o the_o sight_n evil_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n it_o be_v either_o culpa_fw-la the_o fault_n or_o poena_fw-la the_o punishment_n the_o fault_n be_v the_o absence_n or_o privation_n of_o some_o

punishment_n as_o original_a sin_n 5._o now_o more_o full_o and_o distinct_o to_o determine_v of_o this_o question_n these_o conclusion_n follow_v shall_v be_v set_v down_o 1._o god_n proper_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o evil_a nor_o author_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o habit_n never_o of_o itself_o produce_v the_o privation_n as_o light_n bring_v not_o forth_o darkness_n but_o if_o the_o light_n be_v remoove_v than_o the_o darkness_n follow_v of_o itself_o but_o like_a as_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o darkness_n but_o the_o sun_n be_v remoove_v from_o our_o hemisphere_n than_o darkness_n of_o itself_o succeed_v so_o when_o god_n take_v away_o his_o grace_n which_o he_o do●h_v to_o make_v man_n know_v and_o understand_v that_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o grace_n then_o follow_v darkness_n and_o ignorance_n in_o our_o heart_n so_o that_o god_n be_v not_o proper_o the_o cause_n of_o sin_n but_o only_a removen_n the_o remove_a cause_n so_o that_o there_o need_v no_o efficient_a or_o positive_a cause_n to_o be_v make_v of_o sin_n as_o the_o manichee_n make_v two_o prince_n the_o one_o of_o light_n to_o who_o they_o ascribe_v why_o be_v good_a and_o the_o other_o of_o darkness_n who_o they_o make_v the_o beginning_n of_o evil_n for_o by_o the_o absence_n of_o light_n and_o grace_n darkness_n and_o evil_n do_v succeed_v of_o themselves_o by_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n 2._o here_o we_o must_v consider_v of_o a_o threefold_a action_n of_o god_n 1._o one_o be_v general_a in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o providence_n whereby_o every_o thing_n be_v preserve_v and_o maintain_v in_o it_o kind_a and_o nature_n for_o in_o he_o we_o move_v we_o live_v and_o have_v our_o be_v 2._o a_o other_o be_v special_a and_o particular_a whereby_o he_o work_v all_o good_a thing_n in_o his_o saint_n 3._o the_o three_o be_v between_o both_o whereby_o god_n carry_v a_o overruling_a hand_n in_o all_o action_n make_v all_o thing_n good_a and_o bad_a reasonable_a and_o unreasonable_a creature_n to_o serve_v unto_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o be_v instrument_n of_o his_o will_n and_o thus_o god_n dispose_v even_o of_o the_o sinful_a act_n of_o man_n that_o thereby_o his_o will_n be_v effect_v and_o accomplish_v and_o yet_o he_o be_v no_o way_n accessary_a to_o their_o sin_n so_o that_o in_o the_o same_o act_n god_n and_o man_n will_n may_v concur_v but_o after_o a_o diverse_a manner_n god_n may_v just_o will_v that_o and_o to_o a_o good_a end_n which_o man_n will_v wicked_o and_o unjust_o as_o god_n determine_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n but_o judas_n betray_v he_o of_o a_o wicked_a mind_n and_o satan_n provoke_v judas_n as_o a_o enemy_n unto_o god_n and_o the_o truth_n and_o augustine_n further_a show_v how_o in_o the_o same_o thing_n god_n will_v and_o man_n will_v 10._o euchirid_n ad_fw-la laurent_n c._n 10._o but_o diverse_o by_o this_o instance_n a_o wicked_a son_n father_n be_v sick_a god_n will_n be_v he_o shall_v die_v and_o so_o the_o wicked_a son_n desire_v he_o shall_v die_v also_o but_o to_o a_o other_o end_n that_o he_o may_v enjoy_v his_o inheritance_n so_o likewise_o one_o may_v will_v that_o which_o god_n will_v not_o and_o yet_o be_v without_o sin_n as_o the_o good_a child_n of_o love_n towards_o his_o father_n desire_v his_o life_n who_o god_n will_v and_o pleasure_n be_v shall_v die_v of_o that_o sickness_n 3._o god_n may_v minister_v a_o occasion_n which_o of_o itself_o be_v good_a but_o the_o wicked_a abuse_v it_o be_v thereby_o stir_v up_o to_o do_v evil_a as_o when_o moses_n and_o aaron_n bring_v a_o message_n unto_o pharaoh_n to_o let_v his_o people_n go_v pharaoh_n thereupon_o be_v incense_v to_o oppress_v the_o people_n more_o grievous_o so_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n but_o occasionaliter_fw-la and_o accidentaliter_fw-la by_o minister_a a_o occasion_n and_o accidental_o only_a 4._o the_o lord_n also_o permissive_a by_o way_n of_o permission_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v on_o hand_n even_o in_o evil_a action_n which_o he_o permit_v to_o be_v do_v which_o his_o permission_n be_v in_o he_o a_o kind_n of_o will_n for_o if_o he_o permit_v or_o suffer_v any_o thing_n nolens_fw-la against_o his_o will_n it_o will_v show_v a_o impotency_n and_o want_n of_o power_n but_o even_o in_o god_n permission_n his_o power_n appear_v so_o permit_v evil_a to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n as_o he_o know_v how_o to_o make_v it_o serve_v for_o his_o glory_n and_o so_o he_o permit_v sin_n as_o that_o he_o so_o

dispose_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o rage_n or_o reign_v in_o all_o nor_o in_o all_o time_n nor_o further_o than_o he_o see_v it_o to_o be_v for_o his_o glory_n but_o good_a action_n the_o lord_n will_v after_o a_o other_o sort_n not_o only_o permit_v they_o to_o be_v do_v but_o effect_v work_a finish_v and_o perfit_v in_o we_o every_o good_a work_n 5._o further_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o sin_n 1._o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o obligatio_fw-la ad_fw-la poenam_fw-la a_o bind_v and_o tie_v of_o he_o that_o sin_v unto_o punishment_n and_o this_o be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n justice_n who_o after_o one_o have_v sin_v hold_v he_o guilty_a of_o punishment_n 2._o then_o there_o be_v the_o act_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o subject_n and_o this_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o who_o give_v power_n to_o move_v to_o will_v to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o unto_o his_o creature_n which_o power_n he_o restrain_v not_o but_o suffer_v every_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o enable_v it_o also_o to_o exercise_v the_o natural_a property_n and_o faculty_n thereof_o thus_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o action_n but_o the_o evilnes_n of_o the_o action_n proceed_v from_o man_n corrupt_a nature_n like_v as_o the_o soul_n and_o life_n in_o the_o body_n be_v the_o cause_n it_o move_v but_o the_o lameness_n of_o the_o leg_n or_o other_o part_n affect_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o halt_n thereof_o so_o god_n as_o a_o universal_a agent_n give_v life_n and_o motion_n to_o his_o creature_n as_o the_o soul_n do_v to_o the_o body_n but_o the_o abuse_n and_o deprave_v of_o these_o action_n arise_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n nature_n 3._o there_o be_v in_o sin_n the_o punishment_n to_o be_v consider_v so_o god_n be_v say_v to_o punish_v sin_n with_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v how_o the_o lord_n give_v over_o the_o gentile_n to_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o to_o vile_a affection_n as_o a_o punishment_n of_o their_o idolatry_n rom._n 1._o in_o this_o manner_n as_o have_v be_v show_v how_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v to_o do_v with_o sin_n but_o he_o be_v no_o way_n the_o author_n thereof_o or_o proper_o the_o cause_n and_o that_o be_v no_o imperfection_n in_o god_n that_o he_o can_v sin_v nor_o will_v sin_n but_o it_o be_v his_o perfection_n who_o be_v perfect_a goodness_n itself_o can_v abide_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a for_o if_o he_o shall_v will_v sin_n to_o be_v he_o shall_v turn_v man_n from_o himself_o which_o be_v to_o deny_v himself_o which_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n can_v do_v god_n can_v deny_v himself_o 2._o tim._n 2.13_o this_o th●n_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o that_o god_n be_v not_o proper_o the_o cause_n of_o evil_a but_o 1._o either_o by_o remove_v and_o withhold_v his_o grace_n 2._o by_o dispose_n in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o power_n even_o of_o evil_a action_n to_o serve_v his_o glory_n 3._o by_o minister_a occasion_n which_o the_o wicked_a may_v abuse_v and_o pervert_v to_o their_o further_a harden_v 4._o in_o permit_v thing_n to_o be_v do_v as_o far_o as_o he_o see_v expedient_a for_o the_o universal_a good_a 5._o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n in_o justice_n he_o procure_v 6._o the_o general_a action_n he_o cause_v 7._o as_o it_o be_v a_o punishment_n he_o inflict_v it_o etc._n etc._n 7._o now_o according_a to_o these_o conclusion_n set_v down_o the_o former_a reason_n which_o seem_v to_o make_v god_n accessary_a unto_o evil_n may_v thus_o be_v answer_v 1._o god_n be_v say_v to_o give_v up_o the_o gentile_n to_o vile_a affection_n because_o he_o leave_v they_o to_o themselves_o and_o just_o deprive_v they_o of_o his_o grace_n 2._o god_n harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n and_o blind_v the_o israelite_n eye_n occasionaliter_fw-la by_o minister_a the_o occasion_n which_o they_o abuse_v god_n work_n be_v a_o occasion_n of_o pharaoh_n harden_v and_o his_o word_n of_o the_o other_o blind_a but_o not_o of_o themselves_o the_o other_o through_o their_o perverseness_n take_v occasion_n to_o do_v evil_a where_o none_o be_v give_v and_o turn_v that_o which_o be_v good_a to_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o evil_a 3._o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o lead_v into_o temptation_n because_o the_o devil_n who_o be_v the_o tempter_n can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o god_n permit_v god_n tempt_v not_o to_o evil_a as_o he_o be_v not_o tempt_v jam._n 1._o and_o we_o of_o ourselves_o be_v tempt_v of_o our_o own_o concupiscence_n therefore_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o his_o apostle_n watch_n and_o pray_v lest_o you_o enter_v into_o temptation_n matth._n 26.41_o 4._o god_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o man_n will_n but_o not_o of_o his_o corrupt_a will_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o sin_n and_o not_o his_o will_n simple_o as_o god_n create_v it_o 5._o when_o god_n say_v to_o the_o evil_a spirit_n go_v and_o prosper_v that_o be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o end_n

of_o it_o because_o the_o lord_n know_v how_o to_o use_v it_o to_o his_o glory_n 6._o it_o be_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o subject_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o action_n in_o general_n be_v
