4. The almighty power, unsearchable wisdome, and infinit goodnesse of God so farre manifest themselves in his Providence, that it extendeth it selfe even to the first Fall, and all other sinnes of Angels and Men;^a and that not by a bare permission,^b but such as hath joyned with it a most wise and powerfull bounding,^c and otherwise ordering, and governing of them, in a manifold dispensation, to his owne holy ends:^d yet so, as the sinfulnesse thereof proceedeth onely from the creature, and not from God, who being most holy and righteous, neither is, nor can be the Author or Approver of sin.^e
