of_o all_o the_o work_n which_o the_o creature_n do_v and_o therefore_o that_o the_o creature_n can_v have_v no_o own-working_a nor_o freewill_n as_o to_o this_o objection_n if_o due_o weigh_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o affect_v not_o our_o proof_n for_o we_o say_v that_o god_n must_v needs_o have_v communicate_v to_o the_o creature_n in_o its_o creation_n the_o power_n which_o it_o have_v of_o work_v of_o itself_o from_o whence_o then_o evident_o follow_v that_o we_o do_v establish_v it_o for_o a_o certain_a truth_n that_o god_n be_v so_o the_o author_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o all_o his_o work_n that_o if_o he_o withdraw_v this_o capacity_n of_o work_v from_o the_o creature_n the_o creature_n can_v work_v no_o more_o but_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n but_o the_o question_n here_o be_v proper_o whether_o the_o creature_n so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v by_o god_n preserve_v in_o its_o state_n have_v not_o a_o own-working_a or_o to_o speak_v plain_o whether_o god_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o creature_n have_v not_o give_v unto_o the_o creature_n a_o power_n of_o work_v something_o out_o of_o itself_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o capacity_n which_o god_n have_v give_v he_o in_o the_o creation_n as_o for_o example_n god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o our_o work_v but_o yet_o he_o have_v give_v man_n the_o capacity_n that_o he_o can_v direct_v that_o work_a power_n which_o he_o have_v according_a to_o his_o own_o good_a like_n and_o this_o direction_n be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o man_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o man_n do_v thus_o manage_v it_o god_n be_v not_o say_v to_o do_v it_o but_o man_n so_o that_o as_o to_o this_o management_n it_o be_v a_o own-working_a of_o man_n and_o it_o proceed_v from_o that_o capacity_n and_o freewill_n that_o god_n give_v he_o in_o the_o creation_n but_o if_o we_o do_v mean_a by_o own-working_a that_o the_o creature_n can_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o that_o ability_n which_o god_n have_v give_v the_o creature_n but_o which_o shall_v proceed_v from_o something_o else_o foreign_a to_o that_o principle_n which_o god_n have_v place_v in_o the_o creature_n then_o their_o conclusion_n will_v be_v right_o just_a against_o we_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o creature_n can_v have_v any_o own-working_a because_o god_n be_v the_o original_a of_o all_o thing_n but_o because_o we_o affirm_v that_o that_o own-working_a o●_n the_o creature_n proceed_v from_o god_n as_o the_o cause_n and_o author_n of_o all_o thing_n therefore_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o objection_n can_v destroy_v our_o position_n but_o some_o will_v perhaps_o say_v if_o the_o creature_n man_n have_v no_o own-working_a from_o himself_o which_o do_v not_o flow_v from_o that_o ability_n which_o god_n have_v place_v in_o he_o than_o i●_n will_v follow_v that_o true_o and_o proper_o ma●_n do_v not_o sin_n but_o that_o sin_n proceed_v from_o that_o capacity_n which_o god_n have_v give_v the_o creature_n and_o that_o if_o it_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o tha●_n capacity_n than_o the_o work_n of_o sin_v be_v man_n own-work_n which_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o author_n of_o his_o be_v but_o this_o objection_n arise_v from_o want_n of_o know_v what_o the_o own-working_a of_o man_n and_o what_o sin_n proper_o be_v and_o wherein_o they_o do_v consist_v it_o be_v already_o say_v that_o all_o work_n of_o the_o creature_n do_v proceed_v from_o that_o capacity_n which_o god_n have_v place_v in_o the_o creature_n and_o consequent_o that_o god_n be_v the_o original_a of_o all_o our_o work_v but_o albeit_o all_o our_o work_n have_v their_o original_a from_o god_n yet_o god_n have_v give_v man_n that_o ability_n in_o the_o creation_n that_o he_o can_v direct_v those_o work_n according_a to_o his_o own_o goodliking_a or_o as_o he_o think_v best_o that_o be_v in_o short_a god_n give_v man_n in_o his_o creation_n freewill_n as_o be_v already_o show_v according_a to_o which_o he_o can_v do_v or_o forbear_v thing_n and_o this_o freewill_n be_v proper_o tha_z capacity_n which_o man_n receive_v from_o god_n in_o the_o creation_n and_o when_o man_n

so_o have_v its_o original_a from_o god_n but_o the_o direction_n of_o that_o work_a come_v from_o man_n himself_o and_o be_v so_o far_o forth_o call_v a_o own-working_a of_o man_n as_o for_o

can_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n but_o by_o and_o from_o the_o creation_n if_o yea_o than_o he_o himself_o must_v not_o be_v a_o creature_n if_o not_o because_o be_v himself_o a_o creature_n and_o thence_o learn_v to_o know_v god_n how_o can_v he_o think_v upon_o god_n without_o conceive_v that_o he_o be_v always_o create_v see_v his_o own_o be_v teach_v he_o that_o god_n create_v and_o that_o god_n never_o want_v the_o power_n that_o he_o have_v but_o remain_v the_o same_o unchangeable_a in_o every_o respect_n no_o creature_n can_v then_o think_v a_o right_n of_o god_n without_o conceive_v he_o as_o always_o create_v §_o 22._o but_o albeit_o god_n be_v always_o work_v the_o same_o thing_n yet_o what_o he_o do_v he_o do_v free_o or_o without_o constraint_n that_o be_v it_o

any_o thing_n but_o because_o many_o do_v not_o know_v that_o we_o must_v so_o consider_v the_o particular_a attribute_n of_o god_n that_o the_o one_o do_v not_o contradict_v the_o other_o but_o be_v join_v together_o do_v all_o agree_v in_o one_o therefore_o there_o be_v many_o idle_a and_o needless_a question_n bring_v concern_v the_o freewill_n of_o god_n which_o be_v general_o propound_v viz._n whether_o god_n can_v will_v contradictory_n thing_n whether_o god_n can_v have_v create_v this_o world_n otherwise_o than_o he_o have_v and_o such_o like_a trifle_n which_o be_v not_o once_o worth_a the_o think_n upon_o but_o however_o to_o answer_v they_o all_o at_o once_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o freewill_n be_v in_o god_n and_o what_o it_o can_v possible_o be_v the_o freewill_n in_o god_n then_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o god_n will_v that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v so_o produce_v that_o each_o creature_n be_v endue_v with_o such_o attribute_n property_n or_o

the_o freewill_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n this_o conceit_n that_o god_n can_v will_n otherwise_o then_o he_o now_o will_n have_v man_n borrow_v from_o their_o own_o nature_n viz._n because_o they_o

do_v assert_v a_o indifferency_n of_o will_n in_o god_n just_a as_o if_o god_n can_v be_v as_o man_n indifferent_a to_o do_v or_o to_o forbear_v a_o thing_n never_o consider_v that_o this_o indifferency_n of_o will_n in_o themselves_o be_v but_o a_o effect_n of_o ignorance_n and_o want_v of_o experience_n for_o which_o cause_n it_o be_v that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v nor_o

that_o god_n shall_v have_v any_o such_o freewill_n or_o indifferency_n in_o he_o of_o do_v or_o forbear_v a_o thing_n because_o god_n be_v perfect_a and_o omniscient_a can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o
