[ 948] The workings of God and Man, very different.
THe first and highest Heaven drawes by its motion the rest of the Planets,* 1.1 and that not by a crooked, but by a right motion; yet the Orbs of the planets so mo∣ved, move of themselves obliquely. If you enquire whence is the obliquity of this motion in the Planets? Certainly, not from the first mover, but from the nature of the Planets. Thus in one and the same manner, Man aimes at one end, God at ano∣ther; the same that man worketh sinfully,* 1.2 God worketh most holily; and therefore they work idem, but not ad idem. The motion of our wills do exceedingly vary from Gods will, and seem to drive a contrary end, than that which God aimeth at; yet are they so over-ruled by his power, that at last they meet together, and bend that way where he intendeth.
