Full Idea
If sin doth not consist of purely physical actions, the making God a cause of all such actions, is not making him the author of sin.
Gist of Idea
If sin is not just physical, we don't consider God the origin of sin because he causes physical events

A Reaction
An equivocation. If responsibility resides in consciousness, God is presumably conscious, and we can judge the events he causes.
