7 Those things which God willeth concerning himself, he cannot but will them: but as for such things as he willeth concerning others; them he willeth freely: yet so, as some of them do necessarily come to pass and work: others, as it falleth out, of their own accord.
7 Those things which God willeth concerning himselfe, he cannot but will them: but as for such things as he willeth concerning others; them he willeth freelie: yet so, as some of them doe necessarilie come to passe and worke: others, as it falleth out, of their own accord.
And seeing it is the cause of all things, we believe, that both good and evil, do come to pass at the appointment thereof, in such sort, as whereas God is most good; so his will is most upright, and the rule of all justice, so as it can not command any thing that is evil.
And seeing it is the cause of all thinges, wee beleeue, that both good and euill, doe come to passe at the appointment thereof, in such sort, as whereas God is most good; so his will is most vpright, and the rule of all justice, so as it can not command any thing that is euill.
Now although in Christ God and man, there be a double will; his divine will is yet so immutable, as it cannot will any new thing; but whatsoever it willeth, the same it willed from eternity; neither doth it repent him of any thing he hath done, seeing he is God indeed, and from all eternity.
Now although in Christ God and man, there be a double will; his diuine will is yet so immutable, as it cannot will any new thing; but whatsoeuer it willeth, the same it willed from aeternitie; neither dooth it repent him of any thing hee hath done, seeing he is God indeed, and from all aeternitie.
