1Yea verily, that whereof the Scripture speaketh thus, if so be the will of God: and that the petition is not meant of this, it appeareth: first, because that no man can know it, nor search it out until it come to pass, whereas to the doing of this will, knowledge is necessary. Secondly, for that no man can resist it. Thirdly, for that there are no promises for the performing of it, seeing a man may do the secret will of God and perish, as Pilate, &c.
1Yea verily, that whereof the Scripture speaketh thus, if so be the will of God: and that the petition is not meant of this, it appeareth: first, because that no man can know it, nor search it out vntill it come to passe, whereas to the doing of this wil, knowledge is necessarie. Secondly, for that no man can resist it. Thirdly, for that there are no promises for the performing of it, seeing a man may doe the secret will of God and perish, as Pilate, &c.
