because too we have had our Revelation-men, those who never wanted a Vision, a Prediction, an Euthusiasm, to colour the Rebellion) If God's fore-seeing and predicting any Event must justifie it, what Action is there, ever so heinous, what Crime, ever so vile, will be left unjustified? Doth his Omniscience, who sees what is future as if present, purge the Guilt? then would the oppressing of the Children of Israel by the Egyptians, the Murders of Hazael, the Madness of Jehu, the Treason of Judas, the coming of Antichrist and false Prophets, of the Man of Sin, and Son of Perdition, 2 Thes. 2, 3. be all hallowed by the Oracle. For what is there of these or any other Villanies, that comes not within the compass of his Knowledge? But to assert them therefore to be the Effects of his Will and good Pleasure, to be what he approves and allows, (which is what those would insinuate who make use of this Argument) is to forget, that he hath as well predicted a Day of Judgment wherein to arraign, and a Hell to punish such Offenders. |
Because too we have had our Revelation-men, those who never wanted a Vision, a Prediction, an Enthusiasm, to colour the Rebellion) If God's Foreseeing and predicting any Event must justify it, what Actium is there, ever so heinous, what Crime, ever so vile, will be left unjustified? Does his Omniscience, who sees what is future as if present, purge the Gilded? then would the oppressing of the Children of Israel by the egyptians, the Murders of hazael, the Madness of Jehu, the Treason of Judas, the coming of Antichrist and false prophets, of the Man of since, and Son of Perdition, 2 Thebes 2, 3. be all hallowed by the Oracle.
