13. Secondly the truth of these matters appeareth by the immutable nature of God the fountain and author of all good. For Gods works are equally ⟨p. 224⟩good, whether he effect them by evil or good instruments, neither are they battered by good, or made worse by evil instruments, seeing their justice and goodness dependeth not on the nature of the instruments, but of God which maketh use of the instruments: but on the other side the creatures can neither be nor continue good, nor do any thing that is good, except God make them good, uphold them in goodness, & so governing them that they may work that which is good with God who by them worketh that good which he will.

14 Yet hereby we do not attribute unto God contrary wills.1 For God will & will not the same actions in divers respects. He will as they are conformable to his most just judgement and order: and he will not, but rather hateth and detesteth, yet permitteth them to be done, as they are contrary to his order and law, against which they are committed by the wicked.
14 Yet hereby we do not attribute vnto God cō trary wils.
