earth_n therefore_o who_o god_n will_v he_o have_v mercy_n on_o and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v thus_o you_o see_v the_o case_n put_v by_o s._n paul_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o my_o lord_n bishop_n and_o the_o same_o objection_n in_o these_o word_n follow_v thou_o will_v ask_v i_o then_o why_o do_v god_n yet_o complain_v for_o who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n to_o this_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n answer_v not_o by_o deny_v it_o be_v god_n will_n or_o that_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n concerning_o esau_n be_v not_o before_o he_o have_v sin_v or_o that_o esau_n be_v not_o necessitate_v to_o do_v what_o he_o do_v but_o thus_o who_o be_v thou_o o_o man_n that_o interrogate_a god_n shall_v the_o work_n say_v to_o the_o workman_n why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o have_v not_o the_o potter_n power_n over_o the_o clay_n of_o the_o same_o stuff_n to_o make_v one_o vessel_n to_o honour_v another_o to_o dishonour_v according_a therefore_o to_o this_o answer_n of_o s._n paul_n i_o answer_v my_o lord_n ojection_n and_o say_v the_o power_n of_o god_n alone_o without_o other_o help_n be_v sufficient_a justification_n of_o any_o action_n he_o do_v that_o which_o man_n make_v among_o themselves_o here_o by_o pact_n and_o covenant_n and_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o justice_n and_o according_a whereunto_o man_n be_v account_v and_o term_v right_o just_a or_o unjust_a be_v not_o that_o by_o which_o god_n almighty_n action_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v or_o call_v just_a no_o more_o than_o his_o counsel_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v by_o human_a wisdom_n that_o which_o he_o do_v be_v make_v just_a by_o his_o do_v it_o just_o i_o say_v in_o he_o though_o not_o always_o just_a in_o we_o for_o a_o man_n that_o shall_v command_v a_o thing_n open_o and_o plot_n secret_o the_o hindrance_n of_o the_o same_o if_o he_o punish_v he_o that_o he_o so_o command_v for_o not_o do_v it_o it_o be_v unjust_a so_o also_o his_o counsel_n be_v therefore_o not_o in_o vain_a because_o they_o be_v his_o whether_o we_o see_v the_o use_n of_o they_o or_o not_o when_o god_n afflict_v job_n he_o do_v object_v no_o sin_n unto_o he_o justify_v his_o afflict_n of_o he_o by_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o power_n have_v thou_o say_v god_n a_o arm_n like_o i_o where_o be_v thou_o when_o i_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o like_a so_o our_o saviour_n concerning_o the_o man_n that_o be_v bear_v blind_a say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n or_o for_o his_o parent_n sin_n but_o that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n may_v be_v show_v in_o he_o beast_n be_v subject_a to_o death_n and_o torment_n yet_o they_o can_v sin_v it_o be_v god_n will_n they_o shall_v be_v so_o power_n irresistible_a justify_v all_o action_n real_o and_o proper_o in_o whosoever_o it_o be_v find_v less_o power_n do_v not_o and_o because_o such_o power_n be_v in_o god_n only_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v just_a in_o all_o his_o action_n and_o we_o that_o not_o comprehend_v his_o counsel_n call_v he_o to_o the_o bar_n commit_v injustice_n in_o it_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a of_o the_o usual_a reply_n to_o this_o answer_n by_o distinguish_v between_o will_n and_o permission_n as_o that_o god_n almighty_a do_v indeed_o sometime_o permit_v sin_n and_o that_o he_o also_o foreknow_v that_o the_o sin_n he_o permit_v shall_v be_v commit_v but_o do_v not_o will_n it_o nor_o necessitate_v it_o i_o know_v also_o they_o distinguish_v the_o action_n from_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o action_n say_v that_o god_n almighty_a do_v indeed_o cause_v the_o action_n whatsoever_o action_n it_o be_v but_o not_o the_o sinfullness_n or_o irregularity_n of_o it_o that_o be_v the_o discordance_n between_o the_o action_n and_o the_o law_n such_o distinction_n as_o these_o dazzle_v my_o understanding_n i_o find_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o will_n to_o have_v a_o thing_n do_v and_o the_o permission_n to_o do_v it_o when_o he_o that_o permit_v can_v hinder_v it_o and_o know_v that_o it_o will_v be_v do_v unless_o he_o hinder_v it_o nor_o find_v i_o any_o difference_n between_o a_o action_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o that_o action_n as_o for_o example_n between_o the_o kill_n of_o uriah_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o david_n in_o kill_v uriah_n nor_o when_o one_o be_v cause_n both_o of_o the_o action_n and_o of_o the_o law_n how_o another_o can_v because_o of_o the_o disagreement_n between_o they_o no_o more_o than_o how_o one_o man_n make_v a_o long_o and_o a_o short_a garment_n another_o can_v make_v the_o inequality_n that_o be_v between_o they_o this_o i_o know_v god_n can_v sin_v because_o his_o do_v a_o thing_n make_v it_o just_a and_o consequent_o no_o sin_n as_o also_o because_o whatsoever_o can_v sin_n be_v subject_a to_o another_o law_n which_o god_n be_v not_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o say_v god_n can_v sin_v but_o to_o say_v that_o god_n can_v so_o order_v the_o world_n as_o a_o sin_n may_v be_v necessary_o cause_v thereby_o in_o a_o man_n i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o it_o be_v any_o dishonour_n to_o he_o howsoever_o if_o such_o or_o other_o distinction_n can_v make_v it_o clear_a that_o s._n paul_n do_v not_o think_v esau_n or_o pharaoh_n action_n proceed_v from_o the_o will_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n or_o that_o proceed_n from_o his_o will_n can_v not_o therefore_o without_o injustice_n be_v blame_v or_o punish_v i_o will_v assoon_o as_o i_o understand_v they_o turn_v unto_o my_o lord_n opinion_n for_o i_o now_o hold_v nothing_o in_o all_o this_o question_n betwixt_o we_o but_o what_o seem_v to_o i_o not_o obscure_o but_o most_o express_o say_v in_o this_o place_n by_o s._n paul_n and_o thus_o much_o in_o answer_n to_o his_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o the_o argument_n from_o reason_n of_o the_o argument_n from_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o which_o his_o lordship_n say_v be_v draw_v from_o zeno_n beat_v of_o his_o man_n which_o be_v therefore_o call_v argumentum_fw-la baculinum_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o wooden_a argument_n the_o story_n be_v this_o zeno_n hold_v that_o all_o action_n be_v necessary_a his_o man_n therefore_o be_v for_o some_o fault_n beat_v excuse_v himself_o upon_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o to_o avoid_v this_o excuse_n his_o master_n plead_v likewise_o the_o necessity_n of_o beat_v he_o so_o that_o not_o he_o that_o maintain_v but_o he_o that_o deride_v the_o necessity_n be_v beat_v contrary_a to_o that_o his_o lordship_n will_v infer_v and_o the_o argument_n be_v rather_o withdraw_v than_o draw_v from_o the_o story_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o certain_a inconvenience_n which_o his_o lordship_n think_v will_v follow_v such_o a_o opinion_n it_o be_v true_a that_o ill_a use_n may_v be_v make_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o your_o lordship_n and_o my_o lord_n bishop_n aught_o at_o my_o request_n to_o keep_v private_a what_o i_o say_v here_o of_o it_o but_o the_o inconvenience_n be_v indeed_o none_o and_o what_o use_v soever_o he_o make_v of_o truth_n yet_o truth_n be_v truth_n and_o now_o the_o question_n be_v not_o what_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v preach_v but_o what_o be_v true_a the_o first_o inconvenience_n he_o say_v be_v this_o that_o the_o law_n which_o prohibit_v any_o action_n will_v be_v unjust_a 2._o that_o all_o consultation_n be_v vain_a 3._o that_o admonition_n to_o man_n of_o understanding_n be_v of_o no_o more_o use_n than_o to_o child_n fool_n and_o mad_a man_n 4._o that_o praise_n dispraise_n reward_n and_o punishment_n be_v in_o vain_a 5.6_o that_o counsel_n act_n arm_n book_n instrument_n study_n tutor_n medicine_n be_v in_o vain_a to_o which_o argument_n his_o lordship_n expect_v i_o shall_v answer_v by_o say_v the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o event_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v we_o use_v the_o mean_n add_v as_o it_o be_v a_o reply_n to_o my_o answer_n foresee_v these_o word_n a_o lass_n how_o shall_v our_o not_o know_v the_o event_n be_v a_o sufficient_a motive_n to_o make_v we_o use_v the_o mean_n wherein_o his_o lordship_n say_v right_a but_o my_o answer_n be_v not_o that_o which_o he_o expect_v i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o action_n do_v not_o make_v the_o law_n that_o prohibit_v it_o unjust_a to_o let_v pass_v that_o not_o the_o necessity_n but_o the_o will_n to_o break_v the_o law_n make_v the_o action_n unjust_a because_o the_o law_n regard_v the_o will_n and_o no_o other_o precedent_a cause_n of_o action_n and_o to_o let_v pass_v that_o no_o law_n can_v possible_o be_v unjust_a in_o as_o much_o as_o every_o man_n make_v by_o his_o consent_n the_o law_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v and_o which_o consequent_o must_v be_v just_a unless_o a_o man_n can_v be_v unjust_a to_o himself_o i_o
