XXXIX. Q. How will men Repent, confess, resist temptations, pray, and use the means of Grace, if they believe that all sinful acts in the world are thus unavoidably Caused, and Willed and Loved of God as good for his Glory?
XL. Q. Whether they that teach (as Dr. Twice often) that sin is not malum Dei sed nostri, do not take it to be no injury to God, nor displeasing to his will?

And doth not the opinion that it's Evil only to us, and Good to God as conducible to his glory, teach men to hate it only out of self-love, and not out of love to the glory of God? yea to Love it as conducible to Gods Glory, more than to hate it as evil to our selves; seeing Gods Glory must be preferred above our selves?

And doth not the opinion that it's Evil only to us, and Good to God as conducible to his glory, teach men to hate it only out of self-love, and not out of love to the glory of God? yea to Love it as conducible to Gods Glory, more than to hate it as evil to our selves; seeing Gods Glory must be preferred above our selves?
XLI. Q. Is not sin thus made a coequal with Christ? who is but a means to the glorifying of God, to which faith (Dr. Twice) sin is summè conductbile?
