The Assumption is confirmed by two testimonies: the one divine, a sentence of Solomons, cThe Lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposition of it is of the Lord: dSo that the nature of a Lot lieth wholly in this that although the things be of us, yet the disposition is wholly of God: that is, he useth not here our means of cunning, practise, strength, steadiness of hand or such like, but taketh it wholly to himself. The other humane, a saying of Hierome, eHierome saith a Lot is an hidden and incomprehensible predestination, ruled by God: who dare play with this then?
