Object. 2.1 There be many sins in the world, and those consist not in Christ, neither tend they to order. Sol. The truth is,2 that those come into the world by the Devil and man, and they are by the providence of God not effective, but permissive. Yet so as there is operation in four respects about the sins of the world: for first, Christ is the Author of the Motion in general; though not of the evil of the Motion. Secondly, Christ, worketh, in that he withdraweth grace, being provoked thereunto. Thirdly, he worketh, in determining, or setting a measure unto sin, that it pass not his bounds. Fourthly, he worketh, in converting the sin to a punishment of the sinner, or in working thereout an occasion of humiliation, and of grace in the penitent.
