forasmuch as God worketh by them, they serve the good will of God, either against their will or by ignorance. For by what soever instruments God worketh he doth always well. 22 And so God worketh by those instruments, as he doth not only suffer them to work, nor only moderateth the effect but also he exciteth, enforceth, moveth, ruleth, & furthermore (which of all is the greatest) even createth them, that by them he may accomplish that he hath determined, all which God doth justly, and without all injustice. 23 For as oft as an evil man sinneth either against himself or some other like evil. God bringeth to pass without all sin that either the wicked shall revenge himself, or that the wicked shall afflict the like with deserved punishments, which both is the most just work of God, and by these examples of his judgements God doth recreate and comfort his. 24 But so oft as the wicked annoy the good they in deed sin, & at the last are worthily punished, yet nevertheless the Lord by them, correcteth, teacheth, and confirmeth his, and in deed by the very enemies of the Church he maketh his Church glorious. 25 Yet these evil instruments can not be said to obey God, because albeit God doth execute his work by them, yet they so much as in them is, & that appertaineth there counsel and will, they do not the work of God, but their own work, for which they are worthily punished. For albeit it is good which God worketh by the wicked, yet ⟨p. 114⟩whatsoever she evil do is evil. 26 Nor availeth the consequence, God doth all things, therefore he committeth sins. For the name of sin agreeth not, but with a depraved quality, which wholly is in the doing instrument. 27 But by reason of this depraved quality, the work, which by it self is but one, is after a sort made two and double, and that so much, that one resisteth the other, that is, the just work of God, the unjust work of man, by direct contrary. 28 Yet God worketh other ways by good instruments than by evil. For over and above that he doth his own work by good instruments, the good instruments also do his work with that strength and efficacy which God giveth them: the Lord finally doth his own work by them, & in them he also worketh to will and do.

for asmuch as God worketh by them, they serue the good will of God, eyther agaynst their will or by ignorance. For by what soeuer instrumēts God worketh he doth alwayes well. 22 And so God worketh by those instruments, as he doth not only suffer them to worke, nor only moderateth ye effect but also he exciteth, inforceth, moueth, ruleth, & furthermore (which of al is the greatest) euen createth them, that by them he may accomplish that he hath determined, all which God doth iustly, and without all iniustice. 23 For as oft as an euill man sinneth eyther agaynst himselfe or some other lyke euill. God bringeth to passe without all sinne that either the wicked shal reuenge himselfe, or that the wicked shall afflict the lyke with deserued punishments, whiche both is the most iuste worke of God, and by these examples of his iudgemēts God doth recreat and comfort his. 24 But so oft as the wicked annoy the good they in déede sinne, & at the last are worthily punished, yet neuerthelesse the Lorde by them, correcteth, teacheth, and confirmeth his, and in déede by the very enimies of the Churche he maketh his Church glorious. 25 Yet these euil instruments can not be sayd to obey God, bicause albeit God doth execute his worke by them, yet they so much as in them is, & that appertayneth there counsell and will, they do not the worke of God, but their owne worke, for which they are worthily punished. For albeit it is good whiche God worketh by the wicked, yet
