The course you take to explicate Gods providence in punishing sin with sin, is nothing congruous to the examples thereof set down in holy Scripture. For whereas Judas his betraying of Christ was a fruit of his covetousness, you make Gods giving him over to the committing of this sin to be the punishment of his covetousness. Likewise whereas the High Priests and Pharisees conspiracy against Christ was a fruit of their envy; (for Pilate knew that for envy they had delivered him) and of their ambition, as appeareth Joh. 11. 48. you make Gods giving them over to the committing of this sin, to be the punishment of their ambition and envy. In like sort that Pilate gave judgement against Christ being a fruit of his popularity and worldly fear of Caesar, the giving of him over to the committing of this sin, you make to be the punishment of his popularity and worldly fear of Caesar. So the Jews crying out against him being a fruit of their ignorance and infidelity, the giving them over unto this sin, you make it to be the punishment of their ignorance and infidelity.
