We willingly grant with Zanchy that God can will nothing which is not just; Not that hereby we make any justice to precede the will of God; but because he hath a lawful power to do what he will; And there is a justice of condency consequent to all his actions. It is otherwise, I confess, with a man though the greatest of men, as wise as Solomon; though vessels after God's own heart, as David: But hence it followeth not, that because in an earthly King there is a justice antecedent to his will, therefore it is so in the King of heaven and earth. If this Author think otherwise, let him know I am not yet sufficiently convicted of the purity of his understanding purged from prejudice and false principles &c. as thereinto to make the last resolution of my faith.
