Thirdly, As to the Causes; Sovereignty being according to the Will of God, but Justice according to the Sin of Man. For God, though he be the only Sovereign Lord, and that to the height of perfection; yet he appointeth no man to the pains of everlasting fire, merely from Sovereignty, but by the Rule of Justice: God damneth not the man because he is a man, but a Sinner; and fore-appoints him to that place and state, by fore-seeing of him wicked.
