19. Art. 9. §. 2. maintains, Posita permission infallibilitèr sequi quod permittitur. Austin himself supposeth as much where he saith, Ad omnipotentissimam suam bonitatem pertinere, potiùs bona ex malis elicere, quam mala esse non sinere. For hereby he gives to understand, that God permits sin with a purpose to work good out of evil. Now this manifestly implies, that upon Gods permission of sin, sin shall exist. Nay how can this be avoided, unless we deny that God alone, is he that keeps us from running into sin, and maintain that man can do this of himself, without that special grace of God, whereby he keeps us from sin: yet in the Council of Palestine, it was concluded, that Gods grace was required to every act, and Pelagius himself was driven to subscribe thereunto, and to anathematize those that denied. Now let us examine what this grace of God is, which is necessarily required to every good act, whether God doth not work the will thereunto, according to that, I will cause them to walk in my statutes, and keep my judgements and do them: Ezech. 36. 28. or whether it be only such a Cooperate grace, as some now a days blush not to profess as whereby God works in us, [Greek or Hebrew] Veil bonum modò Velimus, this I can show under the hand of a zealous Partisan for Arminius. Now I hope there is no such cunning contrivance in the permission of sin.
19. Art. 9. §. 2. maintaines, Posita permissione infallibilitèr sequi quod permittitur. Austin himselfe supposeth as much where he saith, Ad omnipotentissimam suam bonitatem pertinere, potiùs bona ex malis elicere, quam mala esse non sinere. For hereby he gives to understand, that God permits sinne with a purpose to work good out of evill. Now this manifestly implies, that upon Gods permission of sinne, sinne shall exist. Nay how can this be avoided, unlesse we deny that God alone, is he that keepes us from running into sinne, and maintaine that man can doe this of himselfe, without that speciall grace of God, whereby he keepes us from sinne: yet in the Councel of Palestine, it was concluded, that Gods grace was required to every act, and Pelagius himselfe was driven to subscribe thereunto, and to anathematize those that denied. Now let us examine what this grace of God is, which is necessarily required to every good act, whether God doth not work the will thereunto, according to that, I will cause them to walk in my statutes, and keep my judgements and doe them: Ezech. 36. 28
