126 It is written in the prophet Hosea; Thy perdition cometh of thy self, ô Israel, but thy salvation cometh of me. 2The sentence is most true: for seeing that sins proceed from our selves, as from the proper causes, perdition also is of our selves. The guiltiness or bond to abide the punishment, may be said to come from God: but that (as we said before) is not properly called sin, but belongeth unto righteousness. 3John the eight; The devil, when he speaketh a lie, 4speaketh of his own. It is most true; God instilleth not malice into him, but yet he is wont to use his falsehood, even as he doth other things. 5We read in Jeremiah; They ran, and I sent them not. 6In that place there is no speaking of the providence of God, but of the lewd dealing of false prophets, which feigned themselves to have received the word from GOD, their own conscience bearing them record that God spake not unto them. They said, that they had dreamt dreams, and they vainly babbled that God had revealed some things unto them, when as nevertheless they lied, and knew that they did lie. Wherefore no reproaches ought to be laid against God for this matter, as though it should not be lawful unto him by his providence to use their lies.
126 It is written in the prophet Osea; Thy perdition commeth of thy selfe, ô Israel, but thy saluation commeth of me. 2The sentence is most true: for séeing that sinnes procéed from our selues, as from the proper causes, perdition also is of our selues. The guiltines or bond to abide the punishment, may be said to come from God: but that (as we said before) is not properlie called sinne, but belongeth vnto righteousnes. 3
