by_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o divine_a knowledge_n they_o fall_v out_o together_o as_o if_o they_o lie_v under_o a_o necessity_n ph._n this_o be_v the_o difference_n that_o those_o thing_n which_o a_o little_a before_o i_o propose_v to_o thou_o to_o wit_n the_o sun_n rise_v and_o a_o man_n go_v which_o when_o they_o be_v do_v can_v but_o be_v do_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o one_o of_o these_o before_o it_o be_v do_v shall_v exist_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o other_o so_o then_o those_o thing_n which_o god_n do_v see_v at_o present_a do_v without_o doubt_n exist_v but_o some_o of_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n as_o be_v instance_a in_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o other_o from_o the_o will_n and_o power_n of_o the_o doer_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o other_o instance_n bo._n therefore_o i_o do_v not_o say_v amiss_o when_o i_o say_v that_o some_o thing_n be_v refer_v to_o the_o divine_a knowledge_n be_v necessary_a but_o if_o consider_v by_o themselves_o they_o be_v absolve_v from_o the_o bond_n of_o necessity_n just_o as_o every_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o object_n of_o the_o sense_n if_o it_o be_v consider_v by_o reason_n it_o be_v universal_a but_o if_o by_o itself_o it_o be_v singular_a but_o thou_o may_v say_v that_o if_o it_o be_v in_o my_o power_n to_o change_v my_o purpose_n i_o shall_v destroy_v providence_n and_o make_v it_o to_o signify_v nothing_o if_o perchance_o i_o shall_v change_v that_o which_o she_o have_v foresee_v ph._n thus_o i_o will_v answer_v thou_o that_o thou_o may_v perchance_o alter_v thy_o purpose_n but_o because_o the_o present_a truth_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n forsee_v that_o thou_o may_v change_v it_o but_o whether_o thou_o do_v it_o or_o not_o or_o which_o way_n soever_o thou_o may_v turn_v it_o thou_o can_v not_o avoid_v the_o prescience_n of_o god_n no_o more_o than_o thou_o can_v fly_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o eye_n although_o by_o the_o freedom_n of_o thy_o will_n thou_o do_v turn_v thyself_o to_o never_o so_o great_a a_o diversity_n of_o action_n but_o what_o then_o may_v thou_o say_v shall_v the_o divine_a knowledge_n be_v change_v according_a to_o the_o mutability_n of_o my_o disposition_n so_o that_o when_o i_o will_v now_o do_v that_o and_o now_o do_v this_o that_o also_o shall_v seem_v to_o vary_v its_o turn_n of_o know_v no_o certain_o for_o the_o divine_a eye_n forerun_v all_o future_a thing_n and_o return_n and_o bring_v they_o back_o to_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n proper_a knowledge_n nor_o do_v he_o as_o thou_o think_v change_v his_o turn_n of_o foreknow_v now_o this_o now_o that_o but_o he_o remain_v fix_v and_o at_o once_o foresee_v and_o comprehend_v all_o the_o variation_n and_o change_n which_o present_a faculty_n of_o comprehend_v and_o see_v all_o thing_n god_n do_v not_o receive_v from_o the_o event_n of_o future_a thing_n but_o from_o the_o proper_a simplicity_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n hence_o also_o that_o be_v resolve_v which_o thou_o do_v lay_v down_o a_o little_a before_o which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v unfit_a to_o be_v think_v that_o our_o future_a action_n and_o event_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o prescience_n of_o god_n for_o this_o strength_n of_o the_o divine_a mind_n which_o embrace_v and_o comprehend_v all_o thing_n with_o a_o present_a knowledge_n have_v itself_o
