In like sort, from the first Preaching of the Gospel unto this day, many there have been, and at this day are, who are disobedient unto it, and stumble at it either in the whole or in part. If we should say that they who thus disobey, and stumble at the word of God, are ordained thereunto, such as this Author and his Complices, are ready to cry out upon us as Blasphemers, and to profess that they will rather deny that there is a God, then hold with the Contra-Remonstrants. Yet S. Peter budgeth not 1to profess, that Christ is a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word of God, being disobedient, whereunto also they were ordained.

When we profess that not any thing in the world comes to passe but Deo volente, God willing it, We are censured as Blasphemers, in professing that God doth will that which is evil, and sin; yet not only the Articles of Ireland, Artic. 11. profess as much, and Austin Enchir. 95. Non aliquid fit nisi Omnipotens fieri velit: but the Apostles with one voice (as touching the contumelious usages of the Son of God, both by Jews and Gentiles, Herod and Pilate) in their picus meditation poured forth before the face of God, profess, that, Both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and People of Israel, were gathered together against the holy Son of God, to do that which Gods hand and Gods counsel had before determined to be done.
