4. The Almighty Power, unsearchable Wisdom, and infinite Goodness of God, so far manifest themselves in his Providence, that his determinate Counsel extendeth itself even to the first Fall, and all other sinful Actions both of Angels and Men; (and that not by a bare permission) which also he most wisely and powerfullya boundeth, and otherwise ordereth, and governeth, in a manifold dispensation to his most holyb Ends: Yet so, as the sinfulness of their Acts proceedeth only from the Creatures, and not from God; who being most holy and righteous, neither is nor can be, the Author orc Approver of Sin.d
