It may seeme that the reuealed will of God is sometimes contrarie to it selfe: as when God forbiddeth murther, and theft; yet God commandeth Abraham to kill his sonne; and the Israelites to take the goods of the Egyptians.

But it seemeth that the secret wil of God is often contrarie to the reuealed will; seeing by the former many euill things are committed, and by the other all euill is forbidden.
