V. All things come to pass in respect of god necessarily, in respect of us many things happen casually.

V. All thinges come to passe in respect of god necessarilie, in respect of vs manie thinges happen casuallie.

:155p. 28–29

But sith god by his providence doeth preserve second causes, which he useth in governing the world, every one in her proper nature, yea and is the mover of them: and of them, some are ordained of their own nature to certain and sure effects, & other some are indefinite: We know and confess, that ⟨p. 29⟩although in respect of God, ¹without whose foreknowledge and will nothing can happen in the world, all things are done necessarily: yet in respect of us, and of the second causes, many things happen & come to pass chaū ceablie. For what can be more chaunceable and casual, to a carpenter and traveller, then if the axe fall out of his hand & kill the other? yet the Lord sayeth that it is he which killed the traveller. And our Lord Jesus died willingly, yet he said, Christ must suffer. ²Herod & Pilate of their free-will condemned Jesus: yet the Apostles say, ³they did nothing but what the hand and counsel of God had decreed to be done.
