some_o sort_n be_v willing_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v 2_o because_o a_o most_o wise_a governor_n such_o as_o god_n be_v suffer_v nothing_o of_o all_o that_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o come_v to_o pass_v beside_o his_o will_n and_o purpose_n 3_o because_o he_o which_o be_v willing_a the_o end_n of_o thing_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v be_v also_o willing_a either_o simple_o or_o in_o sort_n that_o all_o thing_n and_o event_n by_o which_o we_o compass_v those_o end_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v 4_o because_o god_n purpose_n &_o decree_n depend_v not_o on_o the_o action_n of_o second_o cause_n 5_o because_o the_o immutable_a before_o knowledge_n of_o god_n can_v be_v ground_v but_o on_o a_o immutable_a cause_n that_o be_v god_n will_v &_o decree_n 6_o because_o god_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o natural_a good_a thing_n among_o which_o also_o be_v reckon_v the_o motion_n of_o each_o thing_n 6_o whereas_o evil_a be_v of_o two_o sort_n one_o of_o offence_n the_o other_o of_o punishment_n and_o that_o which_o be_v a_o punishment_n be_v a_o execution_n of_o justice_n &_o therefore_o good_a it_o ought_v likewise_o to_o be_v refer_v unto_o god_n will_n as_o the_o principal_a cause_n thereof_o 7_o but_o the_o evil_a of_o offence_n

first_o that_o they_o do_v all_o thing_n with_o deliberation_n and_o counsel_n or_o by_o help_n of_o the_o understanding_n show_v the_o object_n the_o second_o that_o the_o will_n of_o its_o own_o

&_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n be_v three_o the_o first_o be_v in_o the_o understanding_n because_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n do_v most_o perfect_o understand_v and_o behold_v all_o thing_n neither_o can_v be_v ever_o be_v ignorant_a of_o any_o thing_n or_o any_o way_n err_v in_o judgement_n the_o second_o be_v in_o the_o will_n because_o god_n will_v be_v rule_v bow_v or_o depend_v of_o no_o other_o cause_n they_o of_o itself_o but_o the_o will_n of_o angel_n and_o man_n be_v in_o such_o sort_n the_o cause_n of_o their_o own_o action_n and_o motion_n that_o

either_o immediate_o by_o god_n or_o by_o instrument_n and_o mean_n sometime_o good_a sometime_o bad_a such_o as_o it_o best_o please_v god_n to_o use_v and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n without_o the_o eternal_a and_o immutable_a counsel_n of_o god_n the_o third_o be_v both_o in_o the_o understanding_n and_o also_o in_o the_o will_n because_o god_n as_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n immutable_o so_o also_o he_o have_v decree_v from_o everlasting_a &_o will_v immutable_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v do_v as_o they_o be_v good_a and_o permit_v they_o as_o they_o be_v sin_n but_o as_o in_o creature_n the_o knowledge_n &_o judgement_n of_o thing_n be_v mutable_a so_o also_o be_v their_o will_n 6_o this_o liberty_n in_o man_n be_v lose_v by_o sin_n but_o begin_v to_o

8_o yet_o because_o the_o creature_n persi_v in_o obedience_n can_v be_v but_o by_o confirmation_n from_o god_n man_n will_n do_v yield_v unto_o temptation_n in_o deed_n willing_o but_o withal_o
