5Not a God that wilt iniquity. Seeing God will not iniquity, as these words testify in plain terms, it followeth necessarily, that he is not author, nor cause of any sin. For God doth nothing contrary to his own will. But he hateth iniquity, and in respect thereof hateth all that work iniquity, as the authors of iniquity, though he loveth them as his creatures and of his part requireth their salvation.Not a God that wilt iniquitie.

But he hateth iniquitie, and in respect therof hateth al that worke iniquitie, as the authours of iniquity, though he loueth them as his creatures and of his part requireth their saluation.
