Beza had a good teacher.

"I have already shown clearly enough that God is the author of all those things which, according to these objectors, happen only by inactive permission. He testifies that He creates light and darkness, forms good and evil (Isaiah 45:7); that no evil happens which He hath not done (Amos 3:6). Let them tell me whether God executes His judgments willingly or unwillingly...And, in truth, if Christ was not crucified by the will of God, where is our redemption?"
(The Institutes Of The Christian Religion, Book I, Chapter 18, Section 3, page 202, Translated by Henry Beveridge)
