have_v no_o doubt_n that_o god_n must_v be_v free_a but_o the_o many_o subtle_a contest_v among_o the_o learned_a concern_v freedom_n or_o liberty_n have_v make_v so_o many_o distinction_n of_o liberty_n that_o i_o must_v consider_v they_o before_o i_o can_v distinct_o know_v the_o freedom_n of_o god_n freedom_n be_v a_o relative_n term_n and_o do_v imply_v something_o from_o which_o and_o something_o to_o which_o a_o be_v be_v free_a as_o 1._o from_o constraint_n whereby_o i_o understand_v a_o force_n or_o power_n make_v any_o thing_n act_n contrary_n to_o its_o free_a choice_n or_o inclination_n 2._o from_o restraint_n whereby_o any_o thing_n be_v hinder_v to_o do_v that_o which_o by_o choice_n or_o natural_a inclination_n it_o may_v do_v both_o these_o relate_v either_o to_o act_n or_o to_o the_o power_n of_o act_v that_o which_o be_v under_o no_o present_a force_n be_v so_o actual_o free_a but_o be_v not_o absolute_o free_a because_o it_o may_v be_v force_v but_o opposition_n or_o resistance_n do_v not_o abate_v freedom_n unless_o at_o least_o it_o can_v diminish_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o power_n of_o that_o which_o be_v free_a thus_o god_n must_v be_v absolute_o free_a because_o there_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v any_o thing_n that_o can_v abate_v the_o full_a effect_n of_o his_o power_n the_o second_o distinction_n of_o freedom_n be_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o extrinsic_a force_n but_o of_o intrinsic_a propension_n whereby_o any_o thing_n can_v alter_v its_o own_o power_n or_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o either_o because_o it_o be_v void_a of_o perception_n and_o so_o can_v know_v when_o and_o where_o to_o alter_v its_o activity_n thus_o all_o creature_n which_o have_v any_o activity_n act_n except_o those_o which_o be_v sensible_a so_o fire_n can_v determine_v its_o own_o activity_n though_o it_o may_v be_v restrain_v or_o constrain_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n brute_n have_v some_o kind_n of_o freedom_n because_o they_o act_v various_o though_o they_o be_v neither_o restrain_v nor_o constrain_v and_o so_o they_o determine_v their_o own_o power_n according_a to_o the_o impression_n on_o their_o sense_n memory_n or_o imagination_n albeit_o according_a to_o their_o opinion_n that_o think_v they_o have_v no_o perception_n they_o act_v as_o inanimate_a creature_n yea_o some_o deny_v all_o activity_n to_o creature_n but_o common_o liberty_n be_v oppose_v to_o natural_a necessity_n the_o three_o distinction_n of_o freedom_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o voluntary_a necessity_n whereby_o rational_a being_n be_v free_a from_o absolute_a necessity_n by_o which_o they_o act_v not_o as_o brute_n but_o upon_o compare_v the_o thing_n eligible_a they_o can_v only_o choose_v or_o act_v one_o way_n thus_o i_o perceive_v in_o myself_o and_o believe_v that_o all_o other_o so_o do_v that_o i_o can_v choose_v nothing_o but_o under_o the_o appearance_n of_o some_o goodness_n i_o can_v choose_v my_o own_o misery_n or_o if_o it_o fall_v in_o my_o consideration_n i_o can_v but_o desire_v my_o own_o happiness_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o be_o not_o in_o these_o so_o free_a as_o in_o other_o thing_n to_o which_o i_o have_v a_o natural_a habitual_a propension_n that_o will_v ordinary_o prevail_v though_o not_o always_o and_o which_o may_v be_v eradicate_v as_o the_o other_o can_v as_o the_o goodwill_n to_o child_n the_o reverence_n of_o the_o eminent_o excellent_a the_o compassion_n of_o the_o oppress_v the_o four_o distinction_n of_o freedom_n be_v from_o the_o prepossession_n of_o those_o strong_a propension_n which_o be_v like_o the_o instinct_n of_o brute_n but_o these_o do_v not_o exclude_v freedom_n but_o diminish_v and_o burden_v it_o for_o there_o be_v sometime_o act_v contrary_a to_o these_o propension_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o singular_a act_n but_o might_n also_o be_v contrary_a yet_o while_o these_o propension_n remain_v the_o whole_a act_n can_v never_o be_v contrary_a and_o therefore_o as_o to_o the_o prevalence_n the_o creature_n be_v not_o free_a for_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o impossibility_n to_o do_v that_o always_o which_o sometime_o can_v be_v do_v as_o he_o who_o shoot_v at_o a_o mark_n and_o hit_v it_o once_o have_v the_o same_o power_n by_o which_o he_o may_v at_o any_o time_n hit_v it_o again_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v so_o do_v a_o thousand_o time_n on_o end_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v not_o so_o hit_v it_o at_o least_o it_o be_v certain_a by_o a_o moral_a certainty_n because_o god_n can_v so_o influence_n he_o as_o ever_o to_o hit_v it_o thus_o it_o be_v say_v can_v the_o leopard_n change_v his_o spot_n no_o more_o can_v you_o who_o be_v accustom_v to_o do_v evil_a learn_v to_o do_v well_o liberty_n then_o must_v be_v a_o power_n to_o determine_v and_o choose_v which_o can_v be_v hinder_v by_o extrinsic_a force_n or_o intrinsic_a necessity_n which_o may_v be_v three_o way_n first_o when_o there_o be_v a_o mere_a indifferency_n and_o the_o chooser_n be_v in_o aequilibrio_fw-la compare_v to_o a_o balance_n wherein_o neither_o scale_n do_v decline_v but_o
