object_n 1._o the_o first_o and_o principal_a objection_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o absolute_a decree_n be_v that_o it_o make_v god_n be_v be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n for_o if_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o decree_v to_o glorify_v his_o justice_n in_o the_o just_a condemnation_n of_o some_o man_n which_o be_v the_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o order_n to_o this_o he_o must_v decree_v the_o permissiin_n of_o sin_n without_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o just_a condemnation_n and_o if_o he_o decree_v the_o be_v of_o sin_n than_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o answ_n for_o answer_v it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o god_n do_v permit_v sin_n for_o if_o he_o do_v not_o permit_v it_o he_o can_v easy_o hinder_v it_o so_o that_o without_o his_o permission_n sin_n can_v not_o be_v 2._o if_o he_o do_v permit_v it_o he_o have_v decree_v to_o permit_v it_o for_o he_o work_v by_o counsel_n and_o what_o he_o do_v in_o time_n he_o have_v determine_v before_o all_o time_n and_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a that_o god_n decree_v those_o action_n which_o when_o man_n do_v they_o do_v very_o sinful_o what_o worse_a action_n than_o the_o crucify_a of_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v say_v he_o be_v deliver_v by_o the_o determinate_a counsel_n and_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n act_v 2.23_o here_o be_v not_o only_a knowledge_n but_o a_o determination_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o herod_n pilate_n and_o the_o jew_n do_v that_o to_o christ_n when_o they_o crucify_v he_o which_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o his_o counsel_n have_v determine_v before_o to_o be_v do_v cap._n 4.27_o 28._o beside_o if_o god_n do_v permit_v sin_n he_o do_v willing_o permit_v it_o otherwise_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o

therefore_o have_v decree_v to_o permit_v it_o without_o which_o it_o can_v not_o be_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o object_n but_o if_o he_o have_v will_v and_o decree_v it_o 17._o ad_fw-la amitam_fw-la collat_n vorst_a s●ct_n 17._o his_o decree_n be_v a_o energetical_a operative_a decree_n therefore_o he_o have_v some_o hand_n in_o work_v and_o

in_o the_o work_n of_o it_o than_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o answ_n for_o answer_v of_o this_o two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v clear_v 1._o that_o god_n permission_n be_v not_o such_o a_o bare_a permission_n as_o be_v without_o all_o action_n and_o operation_n 2._o that_o though_o his_o permission_n be_v accompany_v with_o some_o kind_n of_o operation_n yet_o he_o be_v no_o author_n of_o evil_n that_o god_n permission_n of_o sin_n be_v accompany_v with_o some_o kind_n of_o operation_n appear_v argument_n 1_o because_o when_o he_o permit_v sin_n he_o do_v volens_fw-la
