4. The almighty Power, unsearchable Wisdom, and infinite Goodness of God, so far manifest themselves in his Providence, in that his determinate Counsel extends it self even to the first Fall, and all other sins of Angels and Men (and that not by a bare permission) which also he most wisely and powerfully bounds, and otherwise orders and governs in a manifold Dispensation to his own most holy ends; yet so, as the sinfulness thereof proceeds only from the Creature, and not from God, who being most holy and righteous, neither is, nor can be the author or approver of sin.
