First therefore (to gather all into few words) we have said, 1that God is not properly the author ⟨p. 191⟩of sin; secondly that God, when he will, doth justly withdraw from us his grace, which should be the hinderance of sin. Moreover, we have showed that God doth so govern sins by his providence, as they shall not rage any further than he permitteth; and in no otherwise than may be expedient for his providence. We have declared that God doth sometimes suggest both inwardly and outwardly, such things as in their own nature be good; but if they fall into corrupt men, they become occasions taken and not given of sins. Also that God doth not let, but permit sins; and that the same permission is not altogether without the will of God. Further, that seeing sin is a falling away and privation, it hath no need of an efficient, but of a deficient cause. Further, that our motion of turning away from God, is proper unto our will, as it is corrupted, not as it was instituted by God. We said also, that the guiltiness dependeth on God; and then, that the action which is the subject of deformity, cometh as well from God as from us, in the kind of the cause. And we showed, that sins are punished with sins. And last of all, we reckoned up the true causes of sins.
First therefore (to gather all into few words) we haue said, 1that God is not properlie the authour ⟨p. 191⟩of sinne; secondlie that God, when he will, dooth iustlie withdrawe from vs his grace, which should be the hinderance of sinne. Moreouer, we haue shewed that God dooth so gouerne sins by his prouidence, as they shall not rage anie further than he permitteth; and in no otherwise than may be expedient for his prouidence. We haue declared that God dooth somtimes suggest both inwardlie and outwardlie, such things as in their owne nature be good; but if they fall into corrupt men, they become occasions taken and not giuen of sinnes. Also that God dooth not let, but permit sinnes; and that the same permission is not altogither without the will of God. Further, that séeing sinne is a falling awaie and priuation, it hath no néed of an efficient, but of a deficient cause. Further, that our motion of turning awaie from God, is proper vnto our will, as it is corrupted, not as it was instituted by God. We said also, that the guiltines dependeth on God; and then, that the action which is the subiect of deformitie, commeth as well from God as from vs, in the kind of the cause. And we shewed, that sinnes are punished with sinnes. And last of all, we reckoned vp the true causes of sinnes.
