manifest_a unto_o you_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o prove_v first_o that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o evil_n second_o to_o show_v whence_o they_o spring_v for_o the_o first_o point_n that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o these_o evil_n god_n who_o be_v goodness_n itself_o who_o property_n be_v to_o communicate_v his_o goodness_n to_o other_o make_v the_o whole_a world_n that_o his_o creature_n may_v participate_v of_o his_o goodness_n unto_o the_o perfection_n whereof_o it_o be_v behooveful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v diverse_a degree_n of_o different_a nature_n he_o have_v make_v four_o degree_n of_o thing_n the_o be_v in_o the_o world_n the_o low_a degree_n whereof_o have_v only_o his_o be_v without_o life_n without_o sense_n or_o motion_n without_o reason_n and_o of_o this_o kind_n be_v the_o four_o element_n fire_n aire_n water_n and_o the_o earth_n of_o the_o second_o degree_n ●re_n those_o thing_n which_o beside_o their_o be_v have_v life_n as_o tree_n flower_n of_o the_o field_n which_o sometime_o grow_v and_o increase_v sometime_o die_v a_o three_o kind_n be_v they_o which_o beside_o their_o be_v and_o life_n have_v also_o sense_n motion_n able_a to_o move_v from_o place_n to_o place_n as_o beast_n fowl_n fish_n the_o four_o and_o high_a degree_n have_v beside_o these_o thing_n before_o mention_v reason_n and_o wisdom_n and_o in_o this_o degree_n of_o creature_n be_v only_a man_n &_o angel_n in_o these_o four_o degree_n be_v comprehend_v all_o the_o creature_n that_o god_n have_v make_v and_o all_o these_o be_v create_v good_a now_o evil_n have_v no_o place_n among_o the_o thing_n create_v neither_o can_v it_o because_o it_o have_v no_o essence_n or_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o be_v a_o defect_n of_o that_o good_a which_o shall_v be_v in_o thing_n create_v by_o the_o default_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o not_o of_o the_o creator_n as_o blindness_n be_v a_o defect_n of_o the_o eye_n sickness_n a_o indisposition_n and_o disproportion_n of_o the_o four_o element_n with_o their_o quality_n with_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o body_n whereby_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o able_a free_o to_o execute_v their_o function_n yet_o because_o evil_n serve_v for_o the_o great_a commendation_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o thing_n good_a do_v more_o apparent_o show_v their_o goodness_n by_o compare_v they_o with_o evil_n as_o sickness_n once_o try_v make_v health_n to_o be_v more_o grateful_a unto_o we_o meat_n be_v then_o most_o sweet_a unto_o we_o when_o we_o have_v be_v long_o hungry_a the_o light_n more_o pleasant_a unto_o we_o &_o better_a welcome_n after_o much_o darkness_n heavy_a and_o gloomy_a weather_n therefore_o although_o god_n do_v not_o cause_v they_o yet_o he_o hinder_v they_o not_o but_o suffer_v they_o to_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o dependency_n on_o his_o creature_n for_o the_o great_a good_a of_o the_o universal_a yet_o thus_o far_o he_o hinder_v evil_n to_o be_v that_o they_o break_v not_o out_o but_o when_o and_o where_o he_o listen_v else_o will_v the_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o wicked_a man_n quick_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o naught_o he_o govern_v and_o guide_v they_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o good_a of_o his_o own_o elect_a for_o he_o will_v no_o way_n suffer_v they_o to_o be_v except_o he_o use_v they_o to_o good_a purpose_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o wicked_a to_o show_v his_o justice_n and_o for_o the_o furtherance_n and_o behalf_n of_o his_o elect_a this_o be_v show_v the_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o they_o and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o be_v among_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n but_o be_v blemish_n and_o defect_n of_o thing_n create_v it_o now_o follow_v to_o show_v you_o the_o first_o original_a cause_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v which_o be_v the_o free_a will_n of_o man_n wilful_o disobey_v his_o creator_n who_o have_v this_o excellent_a gift_n bestow_v on_o he_o that_o he_o have_v a_o ability_n free_a will_n &_o power_n either_o to_o obey_v his_o maker_n or_o if_o he_o will_v disobey_v he_o in_o obey_v his_o maker_n consist_v his_o felicity_n in_o disobey_v his_o misery_n and_o woe_n all_o the_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n which_o only_o can_v proper_o be_v call_v evil_a except_v the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o devil_n proceed_v from_o the_o free_a will_n of_o man_n there_o be_v no_o cruelty_n no_o adultery_n oppression_n hatred_n malice_n or_o in_o a_o word_n no_o sin_n but_o proceed_v from_o the_o free_a will_n of_o man_n but_o you_o say_v why_o do_v god_n suffer_v cruelty_n oppression_n and_o wrong_v as_o that_o heroical_a brutus_n or_o sincere_a cato_n shall_v be_v continual_o oppugn_v all_o their_o life_n long_o and_o why_o do_v god_n suffer_v dionysius_n and_o harpalus_n and_o such_o monster_n to_o live_v so_o prosperous_o to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v have_v suffer_v no_o oppressor_n of_o his_o common_a wealth_n to_o have_v live_v in_o brutus_n his_o time_n how_o shall_v brutus_n have_v show_v his_o virtue_n in_o withstand_v tyrant_n if_o there_o have_v live_v no_o wicked_a and_o lewd_a person_n in_o cato_n time_n cato_n can_v not_o have_v be_v so_o virtuous_a who_o so_o will_v take_v away_o all_o wickedness_n by_o consequent_a take_v away_o virtue_n for_o virtue_n consist_v in_o root_a out_o vice_n where_o there_o be_v no_o wrong_n do_v there_o can_v be_v no_o patience_n show_v where_o there_o be_v no_o resistance_n there_o can_v be_v no_o victory_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o victory_n no_o crown_n again_o god_n suffer_v wicked_a dionysius_n harpalus_n and_o such_o like_a to_o live_v here_o on_o earth_n happy_o that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n they_o may_v be_v without_o excuse_n 17.14_o rom._n 1.18_o psal_n 17.14_o and_o this_o be_v their_o portion_n of_o joy_n which_o ever_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o envy_v their_o short_a felicity_n consider_v the_o everlasting_a pain_n they_o be_v to_o endure_v and_o albeit_o such_o be_v their_o monstrous_a behahaviour_n that_o they_o deserve_v not_o the_o happiness_n of_o one_o day_n yet_o such_o be_v the_o exceed_a goodness_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v have_v even_o the_o worst_a of_o his_o creature_n to_o have_v a_o taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n even_o satan_n and_o all_o the_o wicked_a spirit_n of_o hell_n have_v a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n before_o they_o fall_v from_o the_o good_a estate_n wherein_o god_n create_v they_o there_o be_v no_o wicked_a man_n so_o absolute_o bad_a but_o that_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o have_v at_o the_o least_o some_o show_n or_o shadow_n of_o some_o virtue_n or_o other_o now_o such_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n unto_o virtue_n that_o he_o will_v bless_v with_o temporal_a blessing_n even_o the_o shadow_n of_o virtue_n again_o he_o suffer_v such_o wicked_a monster_n to_o live_v for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o elect_a that_o they_o see_v the_o deformity_n of_o vice_n in_o they_o may_v be_v move_v the_o more_o serious_o to_o detestation_n of_o vice_n and_o to_o a_o more_o ardent_a love_n of_o virtue_n furthermore_o he_o suffer_v such_o wicked_a creature_n to_o live_v for_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o good_a to_o manifest_v their_o heart_n whether_o they_o will_v oppose_v themselves_o against_o vice_n or_o be_v draw_v away_o unto_o ungodliness_n by_o their_o enticement_n last_o he_o suffer_v such_o monster_n to_o live_v to_o manifest_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o elect_a for_o to_o try_v their_o heart_n whether_o they_o love_v he_o sincere_o or_o no._n for_o a_o true_a natural_a son_n can_v see_v his_o father_n dishonour_v but_o he_o will_v be_v move_v at_o it_o and_o oppose_v himself_o against_o
