11 Neither is God by this doctrine made the author of sin, because the sin of the sinful creature doth by accident concur with the good and just work of God, which he in his own counsel determineth, & by the sinful creature executeth. And therefore in respect of Gods will those actions are just and right, which in respect of the wicked by whom they be done are sins.

For when the same effect hath many causes, some good & some bad, that same effect in respect of good causes is good, in regard of bad causes is bad: & good causes of themselves & naturally are the causes of good effects, but by accident of evil effects or sins: which is found in the effect by some other evil or sinful cause: & contrariwise, evil causes are of them selves the causes of evil, but by accident they may be causes of that good which is found in the effect.
12. And these things are manifest: first by the vniversall nature, causes & effects being such of thēselues, & naturally or by accidēt. For whē the same effect hath many causes, some good & some badde, that same effect in respect of good causes is good, in regard of bad causes is bad: & good causes of thēselues & naturally are the causes of good effects, but by accidēt of euil effects or sins: which is foūd in the effect by some other euill or sinful cause: & cōtrarywise, euil causes are of thē selues the causes of evil, but by accidēt they may be causes of that good whith is foūd in the effect.
