These are Augustine's words, Enchirid. ad Laurent. Cap. •00. 1Great are the works of the Lord, for they are excellent in all his wills, so that after a wonderful and unspeakable manner that cometh not to pass besides his will, which is done against his will: because it should not come to pass if he would not suffer it: and doubtless he suffereth it not unwilling, but willing. The same Augustine, Lib. 5. Contr. Julian. Cap. 3. When as he had of purpose disputed against them which make an idle foreknowledge or sufferance, at length he bursteth forth into these wordest We doubtless (sayeth he) if we suffer those over whom we have power, to do wickedness before our eyes, shall be ⟨image 92⟩guilty with them. But how innumerable things doeth he suffer (speaking of God) To be done before his eyes, which doubtless if he would not, •e would by no means suffer? And yet he is both just and good.
