VIII. Errors.

:161p. 30–31

We condemn therefore all scorners, and all those philosophers, which either do wholly take away the providence of god out of the ⟨p. 31⟩world, or deny that human matters and small things are regarded of god: Those likewise, which abusing the providence of God, do contemn the means ordained of God, for the salvation of us, both soul and body: as also those which would have all things to come to pass so merely necessarily, that they take away all casualty, and deprive men of all liberty: lastly those which will have God so to work all things in all men, that they also do blasphemously prove him to be [Greek or Hebrew] a joint-worker, & an author of sin.

Wee condemne therefore all scorners, and all those philosophers, which either do wholie take awaye the prouidence of god out of the ⟨p. 31⟩worlde, or denie that humaine matters and smale things are regarded of god: Those likewise, which abusing the prouidence of God, doe contemne the meanes ordained of God, for the saluation of vs, both soule and bodie: as also those which woulde haue all thinges to come to passe so meerely necessarily, that they take awaye all casualtie, and depriue men of all libertie: lastlie those which will haue God so to worke all thinges in all men, that they also doe blasphemouslie prooue him to bee 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 a iointe-worker, & an author of sinne.
