Created.] God workes not as the Creatures doe, God workes in an instant: Angels worke sodainely: Nature workes by little and little, and by degrees. There is a threefold effusion of the goodnesse of God: 1. by Generation: 2. by Spiration: 3. by Creation.
The Works of God are either Internal and immanent, and are in the Essence of God, by an act internal and eternal; and thus Predestination is Gods work; or external and transient, passing to the Creatures, by an act external and temporal.
