cit_00026 Augustinus, Aurelius: Quia non fieret, si non sineret.

Propterea namq; magna operà domini exquiſita in omnes volŭtates eius, vt miro & ineffabili modo non fiat præter eius voluntatẽ: quia nõ fieret, ſi nõ ſineret: nec vtiq; nolens ſinit, ſed volens. Nec ſineret bono fieri malè, niſi omnipotens etiã de malo facere posset bene. |
Translation | For this reason, the great works of the Lord are carefully selected in all his wills, so that in a wonderful and ineffable way it is not done apart from his will, which also happens against his will: because it would not be done, if he did not allow it; Nor would he allow good to become evil, unless the Almighty could also make good out of evil. |
