foreknowledge_n of_o god_n hinder_v not_o but_o a_o man_n may_v be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n since_o god_n do_v not_o foresee_v or_o consider_v it_o as_o any_o evil_n in_o himself_o but_o only_o as_o a_o defect_n or_o pravity_n or_o corruption_n in_o his_o creature_n for_o the_o objection_n will_v not_o be-satisfied_n thus_o but_o will_v proceed_v further_a to_o urge_v in_o its_o own_o behalf_n that_o god_n may_v have_v hinder_v those_o evil_n which_o he_o foresee_v if_o he_o have_v so_o please_v which_o since_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o if_o he_o have_v create_v man_n on_o set_a purpose_n that_o he_o shall_v behave_v himself_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o the_o earth_n but_o if_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o man_n be_v create_v 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 say_v that_o we_o ought_v all_o to_o subscribe_v to_o that_o say_n of_o solomon_n that_o god_n have_v make_v all_o thing_n for_o himself_o and_o the_o wicked_a for_o the_o day_n of_o evil_n 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 providence_n or_o foresight_n of_o god_n do_v not_o put_v a_o man_n of_o itself_o under_o any_o fatality_n or_o necessity_n of_o act_v but_o only_o that_o god_n create_v man_n in_o that_o condition_n 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 scoolman_n do_v so_o whole_o rely_v upon_o a_o acquiesce_v in_o this_o as_o if_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o objection_n to_o be_v bring_v against_o it_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_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 well_o see_v in_o theological_a study_n have_v determine_v this_o matter_n with_o great_a prudence_n and_o judgement_n than_o either_o the_o ancient_a father_n or_o the_o schoolman_n have_v do_v and_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o all_o this_o contention_n be_v a_o controversy_n about_o nothing_o for_o that_o life_n and_o death_n be_v rather_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o divine_a will_n then_o before_o knowledge_n if_o god_n only_o forsaw_v what_o man_n will_v do_v and_o do_v not_o also_o ordain_v and_o appoint_v it_o by_o a_o positive_a decree_n than_o indeed_o it_o will_v be_v to_o some_o purpose_n to_o argue_v pro_fw-la and_o contra_fw-la upon_o this_o question_n whether_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n be_v capable_a of_o necessitate_v the_o action_n of_o man_n but_o since_o he_o do_v not_o otherwise_o foresee_v what_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v but_o only_o because_o he_o have_v appoint_v and_o decree_v it_o within_o himself_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o talk_v of_o
