¶How Sin dependeth of God.
¶How Sinne dependeth of God.
Now remaineth to examine how it is written that God sent an evil spirit between them. But because of that matter, I have in an other place more more fully entreated, and will shortly speak more abundantly of it, here I will but briefly teach the thing.

The scriptures testify, that sins sometimes have a consideration of punishments: wherefore when it said that god punisheth & taketh vengeance of the ungodly by sins, he doth nothing unmeet of him self. For he bringeth not forth the deformity and filthiness of sin, but is the author of just punishment. For sins are to men evil, but unto God, who useth them, good. God planteth no new malice in the ungodly: but yet he useth that malice which is in them by reason of original sin, and other sins which they adjoin unto it. He suffereth it not to burst forth, but when it seemeth good unto him, he governeth and directeth it whether soever it pleaseth him.1 As the Physician coming unto the sick person, doth by medicines draw corrupt humours out of his body, and bringeth them out either by a purgation, or by a sweat, or vomit, or letting of blood, as he judgeth it best, yet doth he not graft in the sick person naughty and corrupt humours: So God causeth to be brought to light our malice, which was not brought forth before, but lay hid within, to make manifest his justice, and to open our sins, and yet he suffereth them not to break forth by chance or rashly,
