The will of God is the rule of all righteousness, neither knoweth he
any other way by which he governeth and ordereth any of his actions.
Whatsoever God doeth, it is good because he doeth it; whether it be
to give grace or to detain it, whether in choosing or refusing. The
consideration of this made the holy men of old ascribe righteousness
to their Maker, even when yet they could not see the reason of his
actions; they would rather stand amazed and wonder at the heights
and depths of his unsearchable judgments, than quarrel at the most
strange and obscure of them.
