¶Yet God worketh otherwise by the §28good instruments then by the evil, for besides y• he worketh his work by the good instruments, the good instruments also do work their own work by the same force & efficacy which the Lord giveth unto them: finally the Lord worketh his work by them, and also worketh in them to will & to perform. But by the wicked, as by Satan, or by men, in so far as they are not regenerate or borne anew, as often as the Lord executeth or performeth the just counsels and decrees of his everlasting will, he in deed showeth forth his strength and efficacy in his work by them, either not knowing o• it, or against their wills and purposes: but yet in so far as they work their own work the Lord worketh not in them, but l•tteth lose the reins unto Satan, to whom by his just judgement he giveth them over being wicked, to be moved and stirred forward, that they may be carried away of their own will and his.
