But the scripture saith in the epistle to the Romans, 1that God delivered up the Ethnics unto a reprobate mind, and unto vile affections. And in the second of Samuel it is said, that God stirred up David to number the people. 2And in the same history David said, that God commanded Shimei to curse David. 3In the same book the twelve chapter, God said unto David by the prophet; 4I will take thy wives, and give them to thy neighbour, and he shall sleep with them: for thou didst it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and in the open sun light. It is said by others, that these speeches must be referred unto the permission; which thing I do not absolutely deny: for God, if he would, might have let these mischiefs, but he would not hinder them. Howbeit I add, that such a permission must not be granted, whereby some may affirm, that God dealeth so idly, and so leaveth the government of things, as he doth nothing about sins themselves.
But the scripture saith in the epistle to the Romans, 1that God deliuered vp the Ethnikes vnto a reprobate mind, and vnto vile affections. And in the second of Samuel it is said, that God stirred vp Dauid to number the people. 2And in the same historie Dauid said, that God commanded Semei to curse Dauid. 3In the same booke the twelfe chapter, God said vnto Dauid by the prophet; 4I will take thy wiues, and giue them to thy neighbour, and he shall sleepe with them: for thou didst it secretlie, but I will doo this thing before all Israel, and in the open sunne light. It is said by others, that these spéeches must be referred vnto the permission; which thing I doo not absolutelie denie: for God, if he would, might haue let these mischéefs, but hée would not hinder them. Howbeit I adde, that such a permission must not be granted, whereby some may affirme, that God dealeth so idlelie, and so leaueth the gouernement of things, as hée dooth nothing about sinnes themselues.
