john_n caluin_n conclude_v if_o ever_o i_o have_v say_v that_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o instruction_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o the_o first_o man_n do_v alienat_fw-la himself_o from_o god_n and_o not_o that_o rather_o i_o have_v in_o all_o place_n defend_v that_o man_n be_v prick_v thereto_o by_o instigation_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n they_o meritable_o may_v pighius_fw-la and_o his_o complice_n have_v rail_v against_o i_o but_o see_v that_o i_o remove_v from_o god_n the_o very_a cause_n of_o the_o action_n do_v also_o remove_v from_o he_o all_o crime_n so_o that_o man_n only_o be_v subject_a aswell_o to_o the_o crime_n as_o to_o the_o punishment_n wicked_o and_o malicious_o be_v this_o lay_v to_o my_o charge_n that_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o man_n defection_n and_o fall_n be_v one_o of_o god_n work_n but_o yet_o lest_o y_fw-fr t_o one_o thing_n shall_v appear_v to_o lack_v of_o our_o full_a doctrine_n i_o will_v recite_v his_o word_n which_o he_o write_v against_o the_o libertine_n in_o the_o 14_o chapter_n of_o that_o work_n we_o do_v not_o deny_v say_v he_o but_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o so_o much_o that_o when_o we_o declare_v wherefore_o he_o be_v call_v omnipotent_a we_o geve_v to_o he_o a_o effectual_a power_n in_o all_o his_o creature_n and_o we_o teach_v that_o as_o once_o he_o create_v the_o universal_a world_n so_o also_o that_o he_o govern_v the_o same_o and_o that_o his_o hand_n be_v always_o at_o the_o work_n that_o he_o may_v keep_v all_o thing_n in_o their_o estate_n and_o dispose_v they_o after_o his_o will_n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o i_o may_v expre●●e_v the_o same_o more_o easy_o i_o say_v that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v three_o manner_n of_o way_n to_o work_v in_o the_o administration_n or_o his_o creature_n creature_n first_o there_o be_v a_o universal_a operation_n by_o the_o which_o he_o direct_v all_o creature_n according_a to_o the_o condition_n and_o propriety_n which_o he_o give_v to_o every_o one_o when_o he_o form_v they_o and_o this_o government_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n for_o albeit_o the_o unfaithful_a know_v nothing_o in_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o which_o they_o see_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o therefore_o they_o make_v nature_n as_o she_o be_v a_o goddess_n to_o have_v impire_n and_o dominion_n over_o all_o yet_o be_v this_o praise_n to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god●_n that_o it_o only_o do_v moderate_a and_o govern_v all_o thing_n wherefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o son_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o star_n fulfil_v their_o course_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o they_o obey_v god_n that_o they_o execute_v his_o commandment_n yea_o and_o that_o they_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o also_o when_o we_o see_v the_o course_n of_o earthly_a thing_n all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o god_n the_o creature_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v but_o as_o instrument_n in_o his_o hand_n which_o he_o appli_v to_o the_o work_n even_o as_o please_v he_o the_o scripture_n do_v often_o make_v mention_n of_o this_o universal_a providence_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v in_o all_o his_o work_n to_o give_v glory_n unto_o god_n but_o chief_o in_o we_o do_v god_n commend_v this_o his_o power_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v it_o in_o ourselves_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v purge_v of_o arrogancy_n which_o sodan_o use_v to_o arise_v in_o we_o how_o son_n we_o forget_v ourselves_o to_o be_v in_o his_o hand_n hereunto_o appertain_v that_o which_o paul_n say_v to_o those_o of_o athenes_n it_o be_v he_o in_o who_o we_o live_v be_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v by_o the_o which_o he_o will_v admonish_v we_o that_o except_o god_n up_o hold_v we_o by_o his_o hand_n that_o unable_a it_o be_v for_o we_o to_o stand_v the_o least_o moment_n of_o time_n for_o even_o as_o the_o soul_n disperse_v her_o strengthe_n through_o the_o hole_n body_n move_v the_o membre_n so_o be_v we_o qwicken_v of_o god_n form_n who_o only_o we_o obtain_v what_o so_o ever_o strength_n or_o power_n we_o have_v but_o this_o universal_a operation_n of_o god_n impede_v not_o but_o that_o every_o ●reature_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n retain_v their_o own_o nature_n and_o quality_n and_o also_o do_v follow_v their_o own_o inclination_n the_o second_o manner_n by_o the_o which_o god_n work_v in_o his_o creature_n be_v that_o he_o appoint_v they_o in_o obedience_n of_o his_o goodness_n justice_n and_o judgement_n sometime_o to_o help_v his_o servant_n sometime_o to_o punish_v the_o wicked_a and_o sometime_o to_o examine_v the_o patience_n of_o his_o servant_n or_o to_o correct_v and_o chasten_v they_o with_o a_o fatherly_a affection_n as_o when_o he_o will_v give_v we_o abundance_n of_o fruit_n he_o give_v rain_n in_o his_o time_n he_o send_v heat_n by_o the_o son_n and_o bright_a and_o clear_a day_n as_o also_o he_o use_v all_o other_o natural_a mean_n as_o instrument_n of_o his_o liberality_n but_o when_o he_o pull_v back_o his_o hand_n the_o heaven_n be_v make_v like_o brass_n the_o earth_n be_v iron_n and_o so_o it_o be_v he_o that_o send_v thunder_n frost_n hale_v and_o also_o it_o be_v he_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o sterility_n and_o barrenness_n therefore_o what_o so_o ever_o the_o ethnic_n and_o ignorant_a do_v attribute_v to_o fortune_n we_o assign_v to_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n not_o only_o to_o that_o universal_a operation_n of_o the_o which_o we_o have_v before_o speak_v but_o to_o his_o especial_a ordinance_n by_o the_o which_o he_o govern_v all_o as_o he_o know_v it_o to_o be_v most_o expedient_a and_o profitable_a and_o this_o he_o teach_v when_o by_o his_o ptophete_n he_o say_v that_o he_o create_v darkness_n and_o light_n that_o he_o send_v death_n and_o lief_a that_o neither_o good_a nor_o evil_n can_v chance_v but_o from_o his_o hand_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o say_v that_o he_o do_v govern_v and_o direct_v the_o lot_n yea_o if_o that_o any_o man_n by_o chance_n and_o not_o of_o set_a purpose_n be_v slay_v he_o avow_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o death_n and_o that_o so_o he_o have_v appoint_v that_o we_o shall_v judge_v nothing_o to_o come_v of_o fortune_n but_o that_o all_o come_v by_o the_o determination_n of_o his_o counsel_n and_o further_o it_o displease_v he_o when_o we_o esteem_v any_o thing_n to_o proceed_v from_o any_o other_o so_o that_o we_o do_v not_o behold_v he_o and_o know_v he_o not_o only_o the_o principal_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o also_o as_o the_o author_n appoint_v all_o thing_n to_o the_o one_o part_n or_o the_o other_o by_o his_o counsel_n thus_o let_v we_o then_o conclude_v that_o prosperity_n and_o adversity_n rain_v wind_n hale_v frost_n fare_v wether_n abundance_n hunger_n war_n or_o peace_n to_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v the_o inferior_a cause_n be_v only_a instrument_n which_o he_o have_v in_o readiness_n to_o execute_v his_o will_n which_o he_o so_o use_v at_o his_o pleasure_n that_o he_o lead_v and_o move_v they_o to_o bring_v to_o pass_v what_o so_o ever_o he_o have_v appoint_v moreover_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o not_o only_o he_o thus_o use_v his_o insensible_a creature_n that_o by_o they_o he_o work_v his_o will_n but_o also_o man_n themselves_o yea_o and_o also_o deville_n insomuch_o that_o sathan_n and_o wicked_a man_n be_v executer_n of_o god_n will_v as_o he_o use_v the_o egyptians_n to_o punish_v his_o people_n and_o a_o little_a after_o he_o raise_v up_o the_o assyrian_n and_o other_o such_o to_o revenge_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n we_o see_v that_o he_o use_v the_o devil_n in_o torment_a saul_n and_o in_o deceive_a achab._n which_o thing_n when_o the_o libertine_n doheare_v rash_o and_o without_o judgement_n behold_v no_o further_a they_o conclude_v that_o now_o the_o creature_n do_v no_o more_o work_n and_o so_o horrible_o do_v they_o confound_v all_o thing_n nether_a do_v they_o only_o mingle_v and_o mix_v the_o heaven_n with_o the_o earth_n but_o also_o they_o join_v god_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o that_o chance_v unto_o they_o because_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v two_o most_o necessary_a exception_n the_o former_a be_v that_o satan_n and_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o so_o the_o instrument_n of_o god_n but_o that_o they_o also_o do_v their_o own_o part_n nether_a must_v we_o imagine_v that_o god_n so_o work_v by_o wicked_a man_n as_o by_o a_o stock_n or_o a_o stone_n but_o as_o by_o a_o creature_n participant_a of_o reason_n etc._n etc._n when_o we_o say_v
