Secondly, he showeth, how that for the existence of a thing, Piscator doth not acquiesce in Gods sole permission, but flieth unto Gods government, and that so powerful, as that it bows, bends, and turns the 1wills of men whither he pleaseth.

- 1Veruntamen & hoc etiam advertendum est; cum contra Piscatorem in hunc modum disputaret Vorstius, Permissio in eo, cui permissio fit, nihil omnino novl per se causat aut efficit, sed tantum vires & facultates semel illi datas, ab alienâ laesione tutas praestat, & liberum istarum exercitium eidem relinquit: imo nihil prorsus extra ipsum permittentem efficit, nisi quod actionem hujus impedientem cohibet, aut potius retinet, & quasi suspendit. Est enim ipsa per se tantum decretum non impediendi: hoc est, for is non agendi. Quomodo autem is, qui non agit, eo ipso quod non agit, aliquid extra se causet, vel alteri necessitatem agendi offerat? Aut quomodo is qui necessitatem hanc alteri offert, eo ipso nihil agere, sed alterius tantum actionem permittere, sive non impedire, sine contradictione dici possit? Videas jam quomodo ad ista Vorstiana respondeat Piscator, in marginalibus suis annotationibus. At ego (inquit) non dico quod Deus tantùm permittat ea quae permittit: Sed dico quod illa ipsa etiam gubernat; Respons. ad Amic. Collat. Vorstii p. 231. Idem p. 131. Explicat quid sibi velit, cum ait, Deum gubernate. Denotant (inquit) illa effectionem quandam Dei quoad peccara, sed non denotant effectionem talem, quâ Deus ipse efficiat peccata, quatenus habent rationem peccatorum, •en quatenus sunt peccata; sed denotant gubernationem Dei, quâ ut Creator voluntates humanas flectit quocunque voluerit. Ex his manifestum est, Piscatorem sol• permissione Dei minime acquievisse, ad hoc ut aliquid consequentèr fieri dicatur, sed ad gubernationem Dei confugisse; & ejusmodi gubernationem qua voluntates humanas flectit quocunque voluerit.
