the_o heaven_n the_o common_a carrier_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n turn_v about_o with_o a_o uncessant_a motion_n nay_o the_o immaterial_a angel_n and_o rational_a soul_n be_v never_o without_o some_o

his_o vindictive_a justice_n now_o here_o i_o shall_v offer_v my_o thought_n in_o two_o position_n 1._o the_o final_a sin_n of_o reprobate_n be_v not_o proper_o the_o very_a cause_n of_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n it_o be_v the_o proper_a very_a cause_n of_o damnation_n but_o not_o of_o the_o decree_n itself_o that_o passage_n in_o scotus_n be_v remarkable_a non_fw-la est_fw-la

which_o be_v in_o the_o unrighteous_a will_n of_o man_n and_o that_o which_o cause_v the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n to_o terminate_v on_o they_o be_v the_o vindictive_a justice_n which_o be_v in_o

justice_n breathe_v out_o from_o the_o righteous_a will_n of_o god_n in_o all_o which_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o exact_a righteousness_n god_n may_v say_v to_o man_n thy_o perdition_n be_v of_o thyself_o and_o man_n must_v say_v to_o god_n thou_o be_v righteous_a o_o lord_n in_o all_o thy_o way_n i_o will_v shut_v up_o all_o with_o a_o answer_n to_o a_o objection_n you_o will_v yet_o say_v god_n justice_n be_v not_o clear_v in_o this_o point_n for_o the_o decree_n of_o preterition_n and_o permission_n be_v mere_o out_o of_o sovereignty_n and_o upon_o this_o preterition_n and_o permission_n do_v infallible_o follow_v final_a sin_n and_o upon_o final_a sin_n do_v infallible_o follow_v eternal_a damnation_n wherefore_o hereby_o god_n be_v make_v the_o great_a author_n of_o the_o reprobate_n sin_n and_o damnation_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v in_o three_o proposition_n 1._o it_o be_v true_a that_o upon_o preterition_n and_o permission_n final_a sin_n do_v infallible_o follow_v when_o god_n give_v they_o up_o to_o their_o own_o lust_n they_o walk_v in_o their_o own_o counsel_n psal._n 18._o 12._o when_o he_o suffer_v all_o nation_n to_o walk_v in_o their_o own_o way_n they_o do_v so_o act_v 14._o 16._o if_o upon_o god_n permission_n man_n sin_n follow_v not_o then_o which_o be_v very_o strange_a god_n may_v permit_v that_o which_o yet_o will_v never_o be_v but_o 2._o upon_o preterition_n and_o permission_n final_a sin_n do_v infallible_o follow_v but_o not_o as_o a_o effect_n from_o a_o true_a cause_n but_o as_o a_o consequent_a upon_o its_o antecedent_n hence_o god_n be_v no_o more_o the_o author_n of_o sin_n than_o the_o sun_n be_v of_o the_o darkness_n which_o follow_v upon_o its_o departure_n also_o the_o objector_n may_v be_v ask_v do_v not_o god_n foreknow_v that_o the_o creature_n set_v in_o such_o a_o state_n and_o order_n of_o thing_n will_v final_o sin_v foreknow_v this_o do_v not_o he_o willing_o and_o actual_o set_v the_o creature_n in_o that_o state_n and_o order_n from_o or_o upon_o this_o set_n the_o creature_n in_o that_o state_n and_o order_n do_v not_o its_o final_a sin_n infallible_o follow_v i_o suppose_v they_o will_v deny_v nothing_o of_o all_o this_o yet_o they_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n neither_o need_v they_o say_v so_o for_o in_o sin_n follow_v there_o be_v only_o sequela_fw-la ordinis_fw-la and_o not_o sequela_fw-la causalitatis_fw-la moreover_o god_n in_o preterition_n and_o permission_n do_v not_o subtract_v from_o man_n any_o creaturedue_n but_o suspend_v such_o special_a effectual_a grace_n as_o be_v undue_a unto_o they_o this_o be_v clear_a for_o preterition_n and_o permission_n respect_v man_n as_o sinner_n lie_v in_o the_o corrupt_a mass_n and_o to_o sinner_n god_n owe_v nothing_o but_o punishment_n verbum_fw-la debet_fw-la venenum_fw-la habet_fw-la nec_fw-la deo_fw-la propriè_fw-la competit_fw-la qui_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la debtor_n nobis_fw-la nisi_fw-la fortè_fw-la ex_fw-la promisso_fw-la say_v peter_n lombard_n if_o god_n be_v bind_v to_o give_v special_a effectual_a grace_n to_o all_o show_v i_o a_o promise_n for_o it_o if_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v the_o suspension_n of_o that_o grace_n can_v in_o no_o wise_n make_v he_o the_o author_n of_o sin_n wherefore_o final_a sin_n be_v indeed_o no_o fruit_n of_o god_n reprobate_v will_n but_o the_o proper_a issue_n of_o man_n perverse_a will._n and_o this_o be_v one_o grand_a difference_n between_o election_n and_o reprobation_n election_n do_v effectual_o work_v final_a faith_n and_o holiness_n in_o the_o elect_n but_o reprobation_n do_v not_o effect_v the_o least_o drop_n of_o sin_n or_o malice_n in_o the_o reprobate_n faith_n and_o holiness_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n out_o of_o the_o bosom_n of_o free_a grace_n but_o sin_n and_o malice_n grow_v at_o home_n in_o the_o reprobate_n own_o heart_n dea_fw-la non_fw-la operante_fw-la sed_fw-la permittente_fw-la 3._o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o reprobate_n damnation_n only_o as_o a_o just_a judge_n inflict_v the_o same_o for_o final_a sin_n god_n vindictive_a justice_n be_v the_o inflict_a cause_n of_o damnation_n but_o man_n final_a sin_n be_v the_o proper_a meritorious_a cause_n thereof_o and_o thus_o god_n be_v perfect_o justify_v in_o the_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n because_o that_o final_a sin_n of_o reprobate_n which_o follow_v consequent_o upon_o god_n preterition_n and_o permission_n do_v flow_v effective_o from_o man_n perverse_a and_o corrupt_a will_n and_o that_o everlasting_a damnation_n of_o reprobate_n which_o be_v inflict_v by_o god_n as_o a_o righteous_a judge_n be_v also_o merit_v by_o a_o man_n as_o a_o final_a sinner_n chap._n vi_o of_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n have_v treat_v of_o the_o divine_a will_n as_o to_o its_o eternal_a decree_n i_o proceed_v to_o speak_v thereof_o as_o to_o
