Eternal Premotion and the Origin of Evil

This is from Fr. Copleston's exposition of Medieval Philosophy, particularly that of St Thomas,
Quote:
God, in creating a world the evils of which he foresaw, must be said, not to have willed the evils but to have willed the world which, as such, is good and to have willed to permit the evils which he foresaw.
Is this accurate?
