5. That all these things are done by the powerful will of God,1 as many most evident testimonies of scripture, so also these reasons do confirm. 1 Because of Gods omnipotency nothing can be done in the world which God simply will not have done. And therefore what soever is done, God must needs either simply or in some sort be willing that it should be done. 2 Because a most wise governor, such as God is, suffereth nothing of all that is in his power, to come to pass besides his will and purpose. 3 Because he which is willing the ends of things should come to pass, is also willing either simply or in sort, that all things and events by which we compass those ends should come to pass. 4 Because Gods purposes & decrees depend not on the actions of second causes. 5 Because the immutable fore knowledge of God cannot be grounded but on an immutable cause, that is, gods will & decree. 6 Because God is the first cause of all natural good things, amongst which also are reckoned the motions of each thing.
