But I would that these men did weigh with themselves, by what testimony of the scripture they be able to confirm that permission of theirs, which they so obstinately retain. I am not ignorant, that they allege for themselves, that which is said in the 81. psalm; 1I permitted them to their own harts lust. But if we confer with the true Hebrew text, it will appear more feeble, & of less proof than they be aware of. For the verb Schillach in the Hebrew, is in the conjugation Piel, which by the force of the conjugation signifieth, A vehement action; neither is it convenient, that we should abate the force thereof, through expounding of it by the word Permission. Nay rather, 2it agrees with the phrase of Paul, wherein it is said in the epistle to the Romans, that God delivered the wicked to a reprobate sense: and it is rather showed, that God cast away the wicked, than permitted them. But whereto did he permit them, or cast them off? Verily to their own wicked desires; as who saith, they should be wholly possessed and governed by them. And in this sense is that Hebrew word oftentimes used in the scriptures. In Genesis it is showed, 3that God cast man out of Paradise; and who would there interpret the word Cast out [by the word] Permitted, seeing he rather drave and thrust them out from thence? Moreover, in the 19. chapter the angels say, And the Lord hath sent us out to destroy Sodom: in which place, 4To send forth cannot be the self same that is to Permit. And it is written in Ezekiel; It brought forth the branch: 5while notwithstanding a vine doth not permit the branch to come forth of it, but doth rather enforce it to bud out. Wherefore let the interpreter beware, least in that place he interpret the Hebrew verb Schillach, by the verb of permitting.
