How differeth it?
The secret will of God considereth especially the end; and the revealed will, the things that are referred to the end. And the secret will of God is of the event of all things;1 where the revealed will is of those things only which are propounded in the word, as to believe in Christ, and to be sanctified, &c.
The secret will of God considereth especially the end; and the reuealed will, the things that are referred to the end. And the secret will of God is of the euent of al things;1 where the reuealed will is of those things onely which are propounded in the word, as to beleeue in Christ, and to be sanctified, &c.
It may seem that the revealed will of God is sometimes contrary to it self: as when God forbiddeth murder, and theft; yet God commandeth Abraham to kill his son; and the Israelites to take the goods of the Egyptians.
