The decree covers good and evil actions; the energetic decree divided into effective and permissive
They further contend that not only the good actions of free causes but also the evil ones fall under a decree of this kind, since both are done by God's decree and will. They divide that absolute and energetic decree into an effective decree, by which God resolved to bring something about, and a permissive decree, by which God resolved to permit something.
Under God's effective decree they place not only the good actions of creatures but also the evil ones, considered in themselves, according to what is positive in them, and as distinguished from the malice that gives them their name. They think both kinds are done not only by God's decree but also by his stirring and moving the second causes, applying and determining them to do this or that.
The malice of free actions itself, however, they teach is not brought about by God but only permitted.
Latin
XXVI. Porro hujusmodi decreto subjacere contendunt non tantum bonas causarum liberarum actiones, verum etiam malas: Utrasque enim Deo decernente & volente fieri. Caeterum decretum illud absolutum & energeticum distinguunt in decretum effectivum quo Deus constituit aliquid efficere, & in decretum permissivum quo Deus constituit aliquid permittere. Isti autem Dei decreto effectivo subjiciunt non tantum bonas creaturarum actiones, verum etiam malas, si considerentur in se, & secundum illud quod in iis positivum est, ac prout distinguuntur a malitia quae ipsas denominat. Etenim has & illas fieri existimant Deo non solum decernente, sed etiam causas secundas ciente & movente, & ad hoc aut illud agendum applicante & determinante. Ipsam autem actionum liberarum malitiam a Deo non effici, sed permitti tantum docent.
