influence_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v on_o his_o part_n vnstint_v that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o a_o unlimited_a abundance_n but_o say_v you_o god_n may_v non_fw-fr agere_fw-la without_o any_o stint_a cause_n what_o restrain_v he_o from_o make_v the_o world_n from_o eternity_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v though_o god_n may_v non_fw-fr agere_fw-la without_o a_o cause_n in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o you_o instance_n in_o yet_o there_o be_v always_o some_o cause_n of_o his_o not-giving_a grace_n to_o any_o man_n to_o do_v what_o he_o command_v he_o not_o that_o there_o can_v be_v any_o impediment_n put_v upon_o god_n but_o that_o he_o be_v ab_fw-la extrinseco_fw-la denominate_v not-giving_a grace_n for_o that_o the_o creature_n do_v not_o receive_v it_o from_o he_o the_o cause_n of_o which_o non-reception_n be_v only_o the_o perverseness_n of_o his_o own_o will_n which_o indeed_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o his_o aversion_n from_o the_o divine_a goodness_n to_o your_o objection_n against_o my_o description_n of_o god_n offer_v of_o grace_n viz._n offer_v be_v less_o than_o make_v and_o make_v be_v more_o than_o offer_v etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v thus_o every_o real_a offer_n must_v needs_o imply_v the_o present_v of_o the_o object_n of_o reception_n wherever_o there_o be_v a_o object_n of_o reception_n there_o be_v a_o capacity_n or_o power_n to_o receive_v there_o can_v be_v no_o power_n to_o receive_v that_o which_o be_v good_a but_o only_o from_o god_n therefore_o i_o do_v again_o most_o confident_o aver_v that_o god_n offer_v of_o grace_n be_v the_o make_n of_o man_n present_o capable_a of_o do_v his_o will_n or_o as_o we_o may_v speak_v of_o receive_v his_o command_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n from_o my_o description_n of_o god_n offer_v of_o grace_n there_o may_v be_v a_o objection_n raise_v against_o what_o have_v be_v so_o earnest_o insist_v on_o viz._n that_o the_o divine_a goodness_n fill_v all_o the_o capacity_n of_o his_o creature_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a viz._n that_o the_o present_a capacity_n of_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v fill_v i._n e._n the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v do_v according_a to_o that_o capacity_n where_o the_o capacity_n be_v not_o instant_o nullify_v by_o the_o creature_n sin_v or_o avert_v itself_o from_o the_o divine_a goodness_n the_o sense_n whereof_o that_o i_o may_v more_o vigorous_o excite_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o learned_a and_o pious_a reader_n i_o shall_v here_o give_v he_o my_o latin_a translation_n together_o with_o the_o
