Here we have a very demure discourse proceeding in a positive manner, proceeding from 1one that takes upon him to be a Master and dictator of sentences; wherein there is little or nothing sound that he delivers of his own; or to purpose that he delivers of others. Nothing of any colour of pertinency, besides what he delivers in the last place touching our opinion of the nature of permission of sin. And I willingly confess, The divine permission of sin is a very obscure point, and in my judgment most come short in the explication thereof Arminius hath a large digression upon this place of Permission in general, and of permission of sin in special: It was the first piece of Arminius, the examination whereof I undertook only with a mind to search after satisfaction therein. And finding no content therein, I gave my self to enquire thereof in a positive manner; wherein I proceeded very far, setting down in foul papers, as they came to hand, whatsoever came into my mind thereabout, which grew into a large proportion, and then set my self upon preconceived grounds reasonably well discoursed by me, to deal with Arminius some five Sections after the beginning of his discourse on this argument, which five first Sections I took not into examination, until I had dispatched the whole. And having an occasion to deal upon this argument when I came to the defence of M. Perkins his answer to the third crimination, whereupon I deal in the second book of my Vindiciae, I thought good to digress after the second Section, & to call a certain proposition of M. Perkins to account, which was this, Quod Deus non impedit, ideo evenit, quia Deus non impedit. It is the ⟨p. 92⟩third Digression of the second book, the title whereof is this, Propositio illa Perkinsii (quod Deus non impedit, ideo evenit, quia Deus non impedit) sub examen revocatur. There is no digression throughout that book of mine that affords more variety of Philosophical and Theological contemplations, then that; and all about the nature of permission. First, in things natural. Secondly, in things moral. And these first in good things. Secondly, in evil things. In the course whereof many obscurities and difficulties do offer themselves to be cleared, & solved by distinction; where coming to an end, I deliver my self in this manner.
