B. 1. If you think this enough, why doth it not satisfy you? while it is granted by them that you oppugn. 2. It is not the same thing. Is it the same thing for Christ to be killed, and for the Jews to will and perform his Murder? Is mans Will and Act, and Christs Death the same thing? 3. God did fore-know their sinful Will and Action, and permit it only, but did not cause it, but was a concause of the Effect. So God may to a Drunkard, 1. Cause strong Drink or Wine to be in his way. 2. And remove some smaller Drink, that would have satisfied him. 3. And remove Dissuaders and many impediments. 4. And give him money, and facility of obtaining it. 5. And cause him truly to know that the Drink is pleasant to the taste, exhilarating, spiritful. 6. And cause it when he hath drunk it, to make him drunken. And none of this is quid prohibitum, or sin in man: But his sinful Will and Act, which are forbidden, are presupposed or fore-seen.

C, I cannot see but that it cometh all to one, for God to permit that which he fore-seeth, and could easily hinder if he would.
