...entire uprightness...

"However, the Holy Spirit wished to tell us that, if we wish to render glory to God and to bless his name properly, we must be persuaded that God does nothing without reason. So then, let us not attribute to him either cruelty or ignorance, as if he did things in spite and unadvisedly, but let us acknowledge that he proceeds in everything with admirable justice, with goodness and infinite wisdom, so that there is only entire uprightness or equity in all that he does (emphasis mine)."

Calvin, John. Sermons from Job. Selected and translated by Leroy Nixon: Grand Rapids, Eerdmans, 1952:29-30.
