yet in such wise, as that those things that partake of the nature of good, are not only done according to the providence of God (that is, God not willing, neither commanding, nor working them, but permitting by his providence, and directing them unto the ends by him appointed) but also by the providence of God, as the cause: but those thigns which are evil, are done according to the providence, but not by the providence of God, that is, God willing, commanding, and working them. For all good things are done, God willing them; evil, God permitting. And God willeth those things, by his will, which he liketh, worketh, and commandeth. He permitteth those things, which he neither liketh, nor commandeth, nor worketh, nor furthereth: but which he condemneth, forbiddeth, and punisheth. That appeareth especially out of those testimonies, which are alleged concerning reasonable creatures. For they show, that all reasonable creatures, both Angels and men, and those both good and bad, are ruled and governed by Gods providence; but so, that whatsoever good is in them, that is from God himself, who worketh this in reasonable creatures: but whatsoever ill is in them, is of themselves, being by nature evil, not of God who is most good. All good things God himself worketh in reasonable creatures: but evil things he permitteth in respect of other things that are good.
