enough_o to_o do_v with_o true_a destiny_n which_o now_o i_o propound_v and_o illustrate_v call_v it_o a_o eternal_a decree_n of_o god_n providence_n which_o can_v be_v take_v away_o no_o more_o than_o providence_n itself_o and_o let_v not_o any_o man_n cavil_v with_o i_o about_o the_o name_n because_o i_o say_v there_o be_v not_o in_o latin_a an_o other_o proper_a word_n to_o express_v

god_n forth_o and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o now_o i_o seek_v for_o i_o define_v it_o either_o with_o that_o famous_a picus_n a_o rank_n and_o order_n of_o cause_n depend_v upon_o god_n counsel_n or_o with_o my_o own_o word_n more_o obscure_o and_o subtle_o thing_n a_o immooveble_a decree_n of_o providence_n inherent_a in_o thing_n mooveable_a whi●h_v firmlie_o effect_v every_o thing_n in_o his_o order_n place_n and_o time_n i_o call_v it_o a_o decree_n of_o providence_n because_o i_o agree_v not_o whole_o with_o the_o divine_n of_o our_o day_n let_v they_o give_v i_o leave_v in_o the_o free_a study_n of_o the_o truth_n who_o in_o name_n and_o nature_n confound_v it_o with_o providence_n providence_n i_o know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n and_o full_a of_o temeritie_n to_o conceive_v or_o restrain_v unto_o certain_a word_n that_o supernatural_a and_o supercelestial_a essence_n i_o mean_v god_n or_o ought_v that_o belong_v to_o he_o yet_o unto_o man_n capacity_n i_o defend_v and_o maintain_v that_o providence_n be_v one_o thing_n proper_o ●oth_v and_o the_o same_o which_o we_o call_v fate_n or_o destiny_n another_o for_o i_o consider_v providence_n no_o otherwise_o then_o that_o it_o be_v a_o power_n and_o faculty_n in_o god_n of_o see_v know_v &_o govern_v all_o thing_n a_o power_n i_o say_v universal_a undivided_a guard_v and_o as_o lucretius_n speak_v unite_v together_o but_o destiny_n seem_v to_o descend_v into_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o particular_n of_o they_o themselves_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o dispose_n and_o bestow_v abroad_o of_o that_o universal_a providence_n by_o particular_n therefore_o providence_n be_v in_o god_n and_o attribute_v to_o he_o alone_o destiny_n in_o the_o thing_n and_o to_o they_o be_v ascribe_v you_o think_v i_o trifle_v and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v proverb_n bear_v hole_n in_o millet_n seed_n no_o lipsius_n i_o take_v this_o out_o of_o the_o talk_n of_o the_o common_a people_n among_o who_o nothing_o be_v more_o usual_a than_o to_o say_v this_o be_v my_o good_a or_o evil_a d●stinie_n and_o likewise_o this_o be_v the_o fatal_a decree_n of_o this_o kingdom_n or_o that_o town_n but_o no_o man_n so_o speak_v of_o providence_n no_o man_n appli_v it_o to_o the_o thing_n themselves_o without_o impiety_n and_o derision_n therefore_o i_o say_v well_o that_o the_o one_o of_o they_o be_v in_o god_n other_o true_o from_o god_n and_o perceive_v in_o the_o self_n thing_n i_o say_v moreover_o that_o though_o providence_n be_v not_o real_o divide_v from_o destiny_n destiny_n yet_o it_o be_v more_o excellent_a and_o more_o ancient_a even_o as_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o school_n of_o the_o wise_a to_o say_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v more_o worthy_a than_o the_o light_n eternity_n than_o time_n understanding_n than_o reason_n but_o to_o draw_v into_o a_o short_a sum_n these_o curious_a not_o common_a matter_n thou_o see_v i_o have_v just_a cause_n both_o to_o use_v this_o distinction_n and_o also_o to_o retain_v the_o name_n of_o destiny_n against_o the_o new_a consistory_n of_o divine_n for_o why_o those_o ancient_a famosed_a destiny_n father_n prohibit_v i_o not_o but_o that_o i_o may_v use_v in_o his_o right_n and_o true_a sense_n the_o word_n destiny_n but_o now_o that_o i_o may_v return_v to_o make_v plain_a my_o former_a definition_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o inherent_a decree_n to_o show_v that_o destiny_n shall_v be_v mark_v in_o the_o thing_n to_o the_o which_o it_o come_v and_o not_o from_o whence_o it_o proceed_v i_o add_v in_o mooveable_a thing_n signify_v that_o although_o destiny_n itself_o be_v immooveable_a manifest_a yet_o it_o take_v not_o away_o motion_n nor_o any_o natural_a faculty_n from_o thing_n but_o work_v easy_o and_o without_o force_n even_o as_o the_o mark_n and_o sign_n imprint_v by_o god_n in_o each_o thing_n do_v require_v in_o cause_n secundarie_n i_o mean_v that_o be_v necessary_a it_o work_v necessary_o in_o natural_a cause_n natural_o in_o voluntary_a cause_n voluntary_o in_o contingent_a contingentlie_o wherefore_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o do_v neither_o force_n thing_n nor_o constrain_v but_o as_o every_o thing_n be_v make_v to_o do_v or_o suffer_v so_o it_o direct_v and_o turn_v all_o thing_n but_o if_o you_o recall_v it_o to_o his_o first_o original_n i_o mean_v god_n and_o his_o providence_n i_o affirm_v constant_o and_o bold_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v necessary_o which_o be_v do_v by_o destiny_n last_o explain_v i_o join_v of_o the_o order_n place_n and_o

course_n and_o unite_n together_o of_o cause_n which_o destiny_n limit_v by_o place_n and_o time_n i_o mean_v that_o wonderful_a and_o incomprehenble_a power_n whereby_o all_o evente_n or_o action_n be_v tie_v to_o their_o certain_a place_n and_o moment_n of_o time_n it_o be_v destinitie_n that_o tarqvinius_n shall_v be_v banish_v his_o kingdom_n be_v it_o so_o but_o first_o let_v the_o
