can_v for_o to_o honour_v any_o thing_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o think_v it_o to_o be_v of_o great_a power_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o signify_v that_o honour_n and_o esteem_v by_o our_o

from_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o order_n beauty_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o world_n require_v that_o in_o the_o universe_n shall_v be_v agent_n of_o all_o sort_n some_o necessary_a some_o free_a some_o contingent_a he_o that_o shall_v make_v all_o thing_n necessary_a all_o thing_n free_a or_o all_o thing_n contingent_a do_v overthrow_v the_o beauty_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o world_n in_o which_o argument_n i_o observe_v first_o a_o contradiction_n for_o see_v he_o that_o make_v any_o thing_n in_o that_o he_o make_v it_o make_v it_o to_o be_v necessary_a it_o follow_v that_o he_o that_o make_v all_o thing_n make_v all_o thing_n necessary_o to_o be_v as_o if_o a_o workman_n make_v a_o garment_n the_o garment_n must_v necessary_o be_v so_o if_o god_n make_v every_o thing_n every_o thing_n must_v necessary_o be_v perhaps_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o world_n require_v though_o we_o know_v it_o not_o that_o some_o agent_n shall_v work_v without_o deliberation_n which_o his_o lordship_n call_v necessary_a agent_n and_o some_o agent_n with_o deliberation_n and_o those_o both_o he_o and_o i_o call_v free_a agent_n and_o that_o some_o agent_n shall_v work_v and_o we_o not_o know_v how_o and_o their_o effect_n we_o both_o call_v contingent_n but_o this_o hinder_v not_o but_o that_o he_o that_o elect_v may_v have_v his_o election_n necessary_o determine_v to_o one_o by_o former_a cause_n and_o that_o which_o be_v contingent_a and_o impute_v to_o fortune_n be_v nevertheless_o necessary_a and_o depend_v on_o precedent_n necessary_a cause_n for_o by_o contingent_a man_n do_v not_o mean_v that_o which_o have_v no_o cause_n but_o that_o which_o have_v not_o for_o cause_v any_o thing_n that_o we_o perceive_v as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o traveller_n meet_v with_o a_o shower_n the_o journey_n have_v a_o cause_n and_o the_o rain_n have_v a_o cause_n sufficient_a to_o produce_v it_o but_o because_o the_o journey_n cause_v not_o the_o rain_n nor_o the_o rain_n the_o journey_n we_o say_v they_o be_v contingent_a one_o to_o another_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o though_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o event_n necessary_a contingent_a and_o free_a yet_o they_o may_v be_v all_o necessary_a without_o destruction_n of_o the_o beauty_n or_o perfection_n of_o the_o universe_n to_o the_o first_o argument_n from_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o if_o liberty_n be_v take_v away_o the_o nature_n and_o formel_n reason_n of_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o i_o answer_v by_o deny_v the_o consequence_n the_o nature_n of_o sin_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o the_o action_n do_v proceed_v from_o our_o will_n and_o be_v against_o the_o law_n a_o judge_n in_o judge_v whether_o it_o be_v sin_n or_o no_o which_o be_v do_v against_o the_o law_n look_v at_o no_o high_a cause_n of_o the_o action_n than_o the_o will_n of_o the_o doer_n now_o when_o i_o say_v the_o action_n be_v necessary_a i_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v do_v against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o doer_n but_o with_o his_o will_n and_o necessary_o because_o man_n will_n that_o be_v every_o volition_n or_o act_n of_o the_o will_n and_o purpose_n of_o man_n have_v a_o sufficient_a and_o therefore_o a_o necessary_a cause_n and_o consequent_o every_o voluntary_a action_n be_v necessitate_v a_o action_n therefore_o may_v be_v voluntary_a and_o a_o sin_n and_o nevertheless_o be_v necessary_a and_o because_o god_n may_v afflict_v by_o a_o right_n derive_v from_o his_o omnipotence_n though_o sin_n be_v not_o and_o because_o the_o example_n of_o punishment_n on_o voluntary_a sinner_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o produce_v justice_n and_o make_v sin_n less_o frequent_a for_o god_n to_o punish_v such_o sinner_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o be_v no_o injustice_n and_o thus_o you_o have_v my_o answer_n to_o his_o lordship_n objection_n both_o out_o of_o scripture_n and_o from_o reason_n certain_a distinction_n which_o his_o lordship_n suppose_v may_v be_v bring_v to_o

christian_a necessity_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o distinction_n i_o have_v not_o use_v nor_o indeed_o ever_o hear_v before_o nor_o can_v i_o think_v any_o man_n can_v make_v stoical_a and_o

one_o it_o have_v be_v better_a to_o define_v liberty_n than_o thus_o to_o distinguish_v for_o i_o understand_v never_o the_o more_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o liberty_n and_o though_o he_o say_v he_o mean_v liberty_n from_o necessitation_n yet_o i_o understand_v not_o how_o such_o a_o liberty_n can_v be_v and_o it_o be_v a_o take_n of_o the_o question_n without_o proof_n for_o what_o be_v else_o the_o question_n between_o we_o but_o whether_o such_o a_o liberty_n be_v possible_a or_o not_o there_o be_v in_o the_o same_o place_n other_o distinction_n as_o a_o liberty_n of_o exercise_n only_o which_o he_o call_v a_o liberty_n of_o contradiction_n namely_o of_o do_v not_o good_a or_o evil_n simple_o but_o of_o do_v this_o or_o that_o good_a or_o this_o or_o that_o evil_n respestive_o and_o a_o liberty_n of_o specification_n and_o exercise_n also_o which_o he_o call_v a_o liberty_n of_o contrariety_n namely_o a_o liberty_n not_o only_o to_o do_v good_a or_o evil_a but_o also_o to_o do_v or_o not_o do_v this_o or_o that_o good_a or_o evil_n and_o with_o these_o distinction_n his_o lordship_n say_v he_o clear_v the_o coast_n whereas_o in_o truth_n he_o darken_v his_o own_o meaning_n and_o the_o question_n not_o only_o with_o the_o jargon_fw-la of_o exercise_n only_o specification_n also_o contradiction_n contrariety_n but_o also_o with_o pretend_v distinction_n where_o none_o be_v for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o liberty_n of_o do_v or_o not_o do_v this_o or_o that_o good_a or_o evil_a can_v consist_v as_o he_o say_v it_o do_v in_o god_n and_o good_a angel_n without_o a_o liberty_n of_o do_v or_o not_o do_v good_a or_o evil_n the_o next_o thing_n his_o lordship_n do_v after_o clear_v of_o the_o coast_n be_v the_o divide_n of_o his_o force_n as_o he_o call_v they_o into_o two_o squadron_n one_o of_o place_n of_o scripture_n the_o other_o of_o reason_n which_o allegory_n he_o use_v i_o suppose_v because_o he_o address_v the_o discourse_n to_o your_o

necessary_a cause_n for_o if_o there_o come_v into_o the_o husband_n mind_n great_a good_a by_o establish_v then_o abrogate_a such_o a_o vow_n the_o establish_n will_v follow_v necessary_o and_o if_o the_o evil_a that_o will_v follow_v in_o the_o husband_n opinion_n outweigh_v the_o good_a the_o contrary_a must_v needs_o follow_v and_o yet_o in_o this_o follow_n of_o one_o hope_n and_o fear_n consist_v the_o nature_n of_o election_n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v both_o choose_v this_o and_o can_v but_o choose_v this_o and_o consequent_o choose_v and_o necessity_n be_v join_v together_o the_o

to_o one_o before_o these_o his_o proof_n out_o of_o scripture_n desire_v to_o prevent_v that_o instance_n and_o therefore_o say_v that_o the_o action_n of_o child_n fool_n mad_a man_n and_o beast_n be_v indeed_o determine_v but_o that_o they_o proceed_v not_o from_o election_n nor_o from_o free_a but_o from_o spontaneous_a agent_n as_o for_o example_n that_o the_o bee_n when_o it_o make_v

that_o be_v to_o say_v some_o consideration_n and_o meditation_n of_o what_o be_v likely_a to_o follow_v both_o upon_o the_o do_v and_o abstain_v from_o the_o action_n deliberate_v of_o whereas_o many_o action_n be_v do_v of_o our_o own_o accord_n and_o be_v therefore_o spontaneous_a for_o which_o nevertheless_o as_o my_o lord_n think_v we_o never_o consult_v nor_o deliberate_v in_o

or_o revile_v which_o my_o lord_n think_v spontaneous_a but_o not_o voluntary_a nor_o elective_a action_n and_o with_o such_o kind_n of_o action_n he_o say_v necessitation_n may_v stand_v but_o not_o with_o such_o as_o be_v voluntary_a and_o proceed_v upon_o election_n and_o deliberation_n now_o if_o i_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o your_o lordship_n that_o those_o action_n which_o he_o say_v
