Answ. This is a blasphemous and most sacrilegious •uill. Where did God ever will thee to lie, to swear, to oppress, to adulterize? His will is his word: and where findest thou his word commanding sin? And shall Gods 1prescience make him guilty of thy evil? Then must thy memory make thee guilty of other mens evil. As thou by thy memory, dost not cause those things to have been done, that are past: So God by his foreknowledge doth not cause those things to be done, which are to come.
