2. The truth is, nothing but permission of sin is a congruous means to the manifesting of Gods justice. For should God afflict a man or any creature, that is not a sinner (as Medina maintaines ex communi omuium theologorum sententia, he can, and that in the highest degree) this shall not be in the way of Justice vindicative, nor as Judex, but as Dominus vitae et mortis; like as man hath power to afflict inferior creatures, and that in such a manner, non quo illis fiat mitius, sed quo nobis salubrius.

3. Gods justice in Judas is manifested no way more, than in his damnation, and that for actual sin, as well as original; and in many thousand infants only for original sin; and to make the permission of actual sin only, subordinate to the decree of manifesting Gods justice, and not the permission of sin original, is very strange. And Alvarez that gravis Anibor professeth generally, that permissio peccati propter quod quis damnatur, is effectus Reprobationis; and therefore cannot be premised before it. And every man that is damned, is damned for original, as well as actual sins, and many thousand infants only for original.
