575. I Come now to consider of what is said by them that go further about Gods will or Causality as to sin. And because Dr. Twice hath a peculiar Digression (Vindic. Grat. li. 2. p. 1. Digr. 4.) I will somewhat animadvert upon it. He beginneth [Sententia nostra haec est, Deum hactenus dici posse Veil peccatum quatenus vult ut peccatum •iat—viz. ipso permittente: And so he maketh the question, An Dens Velit ut peccatum eveniat ipso permittente? Arminius thought God willed only his own Permission of the sin: Twice saith, that he willed that sin should come to pass, God permitting it. Arminius his concession cannot be proved (as I have showed;) But Twisses must be disproved. And 1. I will give you our Reasons against it.1

- 1Bonavent. in 1. d. 46. q. 3. resolveth this question very plainly and truly [Mala •ieri nullatenus bonum esse potest: sed bene occasio boni: And showing the difference between Causa, Casus & Occasio, he saith that Causa est procedens & intendens: Casus p•ivat Intentionem sed non operationem: Occasio private utrumque. And he distinguisheth Occasion into that which hath ratio••m Acti•i & excitat agentem; and that which hath but rationem passivi, as one by anothers evil exciteth himself to do good. And also between the evil and the ordinability to good. And saith the evil is but the occasio passiva of the good, and the ratio boni quod substernitur, is occasio aliquo modo activa—Vide locum.
