Secondly, (Which I shall but only name, because I have met it heretofore.)
The Lord is not accountable to any creature for his actions.
He multiplieth my wounds without cause, or, He multiplieth my wounds without showing cause. God is the only Judge, who may give sentence without hearing parties, or showing cause. It is unrighteous in an earthly Judge to do so; he must not judge a man to any suffering, and not show reason of his judgement. But the first cause needs not show second causes. God hath the reason of all things in himself, and therefore we cannot call him to give his reason. Where the will of the Agent may lawfully be all the reason of his actions, there is no reason he should give any account of his actions, but what himself wills.
