II. But my 2d Appeal is to the Accurate Scholastic Writers, because I suppose you will say that the Scripture speaketh popularly, & after the manner of Men. Ans. (Or else it must not speak to Men.) But here I should much more confound most Readers, if I should call them to Metaphysics, or Metaphysical Writers; I should cite to them many sheets out of Aquinas, Scotus, Ockam, Durandus, Bonaventure, and all their followers, who commonly ascribed Displicency, as well as Complacence to God. If you need Witness in this case, read them, and seek it, and pardon me for not abusing the Reader with such Citations.

III. The same I say of the consent of Practical Protestant Divines. I do not think the Reader would forgive me, if I should prove that Luther, Calvin, Melanchthon, Bucer, and all the Foreign Reformers, and all our Martyrs, and English Divines, Episcopal, Presbyterian, and (whatever you say against it, to their injury) Independents also ascribe Displicence to God: Sure they that translated the Bible did. And surely the Writings of Hildersham, Dod, Greenham, Rogers, Preston, Sibs, Bolton, Whateley, Allen, and hundreds such, are far from disowning such expressions.
