things which are in our owne power; and yet doth euery one vse consultations, in those things which he goeth about. A∣gaine, there must be some immediate cause of euery act, and that can not be God, because God is not the cause of any euill. Neither can the cause thereof be ascribed either to nature, or to destinie, or to fortune, because humane actions are variable, and with the intention of the doer. Therefore the best course that can be taken with him that denieth mans freewill after the fall of Adam, is this; to wit, to beate him like a stockfish, vntill he confesse those that beate him to haue free will, either still to beate him, or to cease from beating. For if one should deny the fire to be hote, the best reason against him, were to cast him into an hot ouen or burning furnace.* 1.2 Thus reasoneth Veguerius.
