* 1.1THat which in this confession is saide touching the li∣bertie of mans nature to performe a ciuill iustice, and cited out of the 3. booke hypognosticon (which is fathered vpon Augustine) wee are taught it out of another place of the same Father, namelie in his booke de gratia ad Valentinum. Cap. 20.) whose words are these. The holie Scripture if it be well looked into doth shew, that not onely the good willes of men (which God maketh good of euill, and hauing made them good, doth guid them vnto good actions and to eternall lfie) but also those which are for the preseruation of the creature in this life, are so in gods power, that he maketh them bend, when he will, and whether he will, either to bestow benefits vpon some, or to inflict punishments vpon o∣thers, according as he doth appoint in his moste secret, and yet with∣out doubt moste iust iudgement.
