whether it be good or ill, or if the same implie a contradiction, he can doe the same: so nei∣ther doe we subscribe to their opinion, which hold that God is called and is omnipotent for no other cause, but for that he can do whatso∣euer he wil: that his power should so stretch no farther then his will: but we beleeue he is ther∣fore almighty: in that besides he can do what∣soeuer he will, he can also both will, & bring to passe, innumerable things which he will ne∣uer will, nor bring to passe.
