any_o thing_n second_o because_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a and_o most_o wise_a and_o can_v be_v resist_v to_o explain_v these_o first_o he_o will_v most_o free_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o

before_o and_o great_a than_o this_o will_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o nor_o great_a than_o his_o will_n appear_v by_o this_o because_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o he_o be_v from_o his_o will_n therefore_o it_o can_v be_v before_o nor_o great_a than_o his_o will_n thus_o then_o there_o be_v nothing_o without_o god_n that_o can_v move_v he_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n within_o he_o if_o any_o thing_n it_o must_v be_v his_o knowledge_n but_o beside_o that_o his_o knowledge_n extend_v further_a than_o his_o will_n he_o know_v thing_n he_o will_v not_o his_o knowledge_n and_o his_o

it_o must_v needs_o come_v from_o one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o first_o because_o it_o be_v resist_v by_o a_o great_a power_n which_o can_v be_v because_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a as_o you_o hear_v out_o of_o the_o 115._o psalm_n 3._o he_o have_v do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v he_o be_v in_o heaven_n second_o or_o else_o because_o some_o unexpected_a accident_n not_o foresee_v fall_v out_o which_o occasion_n he_o to_o rescinde_v his_o determination_n but_o neither_o can_v this_o be_v because_o as_o it_o have_v be_v show_v god_n know_v all_o thing_n both_o past_a present_a and_o to_o

power_n can_v hinder_v the_o execution_n of_o his_o will_n who_o be_v omnipotent_a nor_o no_o accident_n be_v sudden_a to_o he_o who_o be_v most_o wise_a it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o he_o will_v immutable_o the_o next_o question_n be_v quest_n why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o will_v himself_o and_o other_o thing_n answ_n the_o answer_n be_v because_o the_o object_n of_o his_o will_n be_v
