but withal I remember that Piscator being charged therewith by Vorstius, forthwith represents certain passages of Scripture concerning Gods's providence in evil, and appeals to the judgment ⟨p. 70⟩of every sober Christian, whether to do that, which therein is attributed to God, be not to procure sin. It is apparent that Joseph acknowledgeth, that the Lord sent him into Egypt, yet was this brought to pass by the parricidiall hands of his brethren. And it is no less plain that God hardened Pharaohs heart that he should not let Israel go And by Arminius his Definition of effectual grace, it is evident that by Gods denying it, sin doth follow infallibly. And so likewise upon Gods permission of willing this or that, he professeth that it must needs be, that by no kind of argument shall such a one be persuaded to nill it. I come to the means whereby he is said to procure it. The first is, by withdrawing grace necessary for the avoiding of sin. Now of this he gives no instance out of any of our Divines. 2 I know no grace which this Author accounts necessary, that any of our Divines teach to be withdrawn by God. 3 God indeed doth not determine their wills to that which is good; but this Author doth not account any such determination necessary to the avoiding of sin. 4 Prohibition, denunciation of judgment, dehortation and such gracious actions, God doth neither withdraw, nor withhold from the wicked, who are partakers of this grace as well as Gods children, as often as they meet in the same congregation for the hearing of Sermons.
