¶ Whether God be the cause of sin.
¶ Whether God be the cause of synne.
But in these things which are said, there ariseth a question which is not to be left unspoken of. For it is written that god sold the Israelites to the king ⟨image 85⟩of Mesopotamia. Wherefore it seemeth that he helped a wicked man, & aided him to satisfy his tyranny and ambition. For he had neither a just cause, nor yet an honest title, to claim unto him the dominion of the Hebrews. What shall we say therefore? Shall we affirm that God is the cause of this sin? There happeneth in this book and in other places of the holy Scriptures such kind of speech, and that often times very plain, and therefore it seemeth good to be expounded once for all.
BVt in these thinges which are sayd, there ariseth a question which is not to be left vnspoken of. For it is writtē that god sold the Israelites to the king ⟨image 85⟩of Mesopotamia. Wherfore it semeth that he holpe a wicked man, & aided hym to satisfy his tyranny and ambition. For he had neither a iust cause, nor yet an honest title, to clayme vnto him the dominion of the Hebrues. What shall wee saye therefore? Shall we affirme that God is the cause of this sinne? Ther happeneth in this booke and in other places of the holye Scriptures suche kynde of speeche, and that often times very plaine, and therefore it semeth good to be expounded once for all.
