In-Text |
If the will of man shall take upon it to prescribe to the will of God, either Man must pretend to more Reason, or more Right to govern the World than He. To pretend to more Reason, must imply a fondly blasphemous conceit, that he hath either skill to doe it more wisely, or goodness to doe it more obligingly, or justice to do it more equally than God: And, to plead more Right, implyes no less a blasphemous absurdity; For who hath more right to dispose of the Creature, than he that made it? Now, he made us, not we our selves, Ps. 100. 3. Of him, and from him, are all things, Rom. 11. 36. and therefore in reason (as followes) they should be to him. All the World was created for his pleasure, Rev. 4. 11. and undoubtedly (therefore) he hath right to dispose of it at his pleasure. |
