1If any man demand, why then God doth not correct vicious instruments, that God using them well, themselves also may work well? God himself answereth him, I will have merry on whom I will have mercy: O man, 2who art thou that pleadest against God? Hath not the Potter power of the clay? who hath given unto him first, and it shall be recompensed? God performeth nothing of duty, but all of mercy unto his creatures. It is free therefore to him, to do what, and in what sort, & how far forth, and to whom he will, according as it is said. Is it not lawful for me to do as I will with mine own?3
