4. Socrates when the Tyrant did threaten death to him, told him he was willing; nay, then said the Tyrant, you shall live against your will: nay, but said Socrates, whatever you do with me, it shall be my will. And a certain Stoic speaking of God, said, quid vult volo, quid non vult nolo, vult ut vivam vivam, vult ut moriar, moriar. What God will, I will; what God nills, I will not; if he will that I live, I will live; if it be his pleasure that I die, I will dye. Ah how should the will of Christians stoop and lie down at the foot of Gods will; not my will, but thine be done.

5. Plutarch in his Epistle Consolatory to his wife, on the death of a child, among many other arguments hath this. We must always think well of what the Gods do. And shall not Christians think well of what God doth, and say as Hezekiah, good is the word, and good is the work of the Lord.
