33 An other argument; 1These tyrants Nebuchadnezzar, Sennacherib, and others, 2were in the hand of God, as a staff and rod; and therefore God seemeth to be the cause of sin. Indeed it is true that they were as a rod; and when they had executed their office, they were thrown into the fire: yet were they not without sense and perceiving, but were moved forward by their own naughty will, and therefore are justly punished. For there is two kinds of instruments, as I declared before. Howbeit this is no beguiling; that God will use these things, & yet command that they shall not be done. These men do them of a naughty will, but God useth their naughtiness. Men also can use well the naughty actions of their adversaries, and many times they do use them without any crafty dealing, even to the intent they may take heed to themselves, and may show patience. Sometime God useth sins, to punish the sinners themselves: yea rather, he useth them so always, for because sin is always a punishment of the sinner. And otherwhile he useth them for the punishment of others.
33 An other argument; 1These tyrants Nabuchadnezar, Senacherib, and others, 2were in the hand of God, as a staffe and rod; and therefore God séemeth to be the cause of sinne. Indéed it is true that they were as a rod; and when they had executed their office, they were throwne into the fire: yet were they not without sense and perceiuing, but were mooued forward by their owne naughtie will, and therefore are iustlie punished. For there is two kinds of instruments, as I declared before. Howbeit this is no beguiling; that God will vse these things, & yet command that they shall not be doone. These men doo them of a naughtie will, but God vseth their naughtines. Men also can vse well the naughtie actions of their aduersaries, and manie times they doo vse them without anie craftie dealing, euen to the intent they may take héed to themselues, and may shew patience. Sometime God vseth sinnes, to punish the sinners themselues: yea rather, he vseth them so alwaies, for bicause sinne is alwaies a punishment of the sinner. And otherwhile he vseth them for the punishment of others.
