in_o such_o a_o condition_n that_o he_o be_v under_o a_o necessity_n of_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o do_v we_o must_v not_o charge_v that_o as_o a_o fault_n upon_o man_n which_o they_o can_v avoid_v and_o which_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o can_v be_v resist_v oblige_v they_o to_o do_v let_v we_o try_v therefore_o some_o other_o way_n to_o untie_v this_o puzzle_v knot_n and_o first_o of_o all_o i_o

therefore_o the_o case_n be_v this_o that_o since_o the_o disposal_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o since_o he_o be_v original_o and_o unaccountable_o invest_v with_o the_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n he_o order_v the_o matter_n so_o by_o the_o eternal_a counsel_n and_o purpose_n of_o his_o will_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v bear_v some_o man_n into_o the_o world_n that_o shall_v be_v devote_v to_o eternal_a ruin_n from_o their_o mother_n womb_n that_o so_o they_o may_v glorify_v his_o name_n by_o their_o destruction_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o

he_o be_v in_o because_o he_o foresee_v the_o future_a pravity_n of_o which_o he_o will_v be_v guilty_a he_o speak_v indeed_o something_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o yet_o very_o short_a of_o the_o whole_a matter_n the_o ancients_n indeed_o be_v wont_a sometime_o to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o solution_n but_o they_o do_v it_o with_o something_o of_o doubt_n and_o hesitation_n but_o the_o

clear_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o divine_a knowledge_n do_v not_o conclude_v the_o creature_n under_o any_o kind_n of_o fate_n or_o necessity_n at_o all_o notwithstanding_o that_o there_o be_v some_o who_o will_v not_o grant_v thus_o much_o but_o will_v needs_o have_v prescience_n itself_o to_o be_v a_o cause_n but_o to_o my_o think_n valla_n although_o otherwise_o a_o person_n not_o very_o
