But sith god by his prouidence doeth pre∣serue second causes, which he vseth in gouer∣ning the worlde, euerie one in her proper na∣ture, yea and is the moouer of them: and of them, some are ordained of their owne na∣ture to certaine and sure effects, & other some are indefinite: Wee knowe and confesse, that
although in respect of God, * 1.1 without whose foreknowledge and wil nothing can happen in the world, all things are done necessarilie: yet in respect of vs, and of the second causes, manie things happen & come to passe chaū∣ceablie. For what can bee more chaunceable and casuall, to a carpenter and trauailer, then if the axe fall out of his hand & kill the other? yet the Lord saieth that it is he which killed the trauailer. And our Lord Iesus died wil∣linglie, yet he said, Christ must suffer. * 1.2 Herode & Pilate of their free-will condemned Iesus: yet the Apostles saie, * 1.3 they did nothing but what the hand and counsaile of God had decreed to be done.
