First we for our food kill Sheep Oxen Birds and Fowle who never wronged vs yea for this end we fat and cram them although we did not create them How much more then may God destroy a creature which he hath made and for his glory passe by a man who hath infinitely offended him Secondly Artificers often make peeces of worke and breake them againe for the praise of their skill and Art why then may not the Lord doe so Obj. God gave nothing unto man but a being therefore it was unjust to doe more unto him then to take away his being God who created man of nothing or of earth might justly have reduced him againe to his first matter but not make him worse then he was now to be damned is much worse then not to be I answer Artificers and Craftsmen make vessels for their owne service yea even to serue for base offices and that for a long time yea even for ever if they and their vessels could endure for ever And therefore why should we dispute against God Saint Paul durst not doe it Rom. 9. 13. c.
