be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o metion_n and_o yet_o not_o of_o his_o halt_n confutatio_fw-la it_o be_v a_o hard_a case_n when_o they_o have_v but_o one_o frivolous_a distinction_n to_o keep_v god_n from_o sin_v may_v i_o here_o without_o wander_a discourse_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n i_o can_v prove_v sin_n itself_o to_o be_v a_o action_n and_o confute_v this_o groundless_a distinction_n that_o way_n but_o i_o will_v keep_v myself_o as_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n as_o i_o can_v and_o so_o answer_v it_o thus_o or_o rather_o confute_v it_o that_o which_o be_v a_o principal_a cause_n of_o any_o action_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o those_o event_n which_o accompany_v that_o action_n necessary_o this_o rule_n be_v most_o certain_o true_a concomitant_n concomitant_n therefore_o if_o god_n by_o his_o decree_n do_v force_v we_o to_o those_o action_n which_o can_v be_v do_v without_o sin_n god_n himself_o i_o be_o afraid_a to_o rehearse_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n for_o example_n if_o god_n decree_v that_o adam_n shall_v unavoidable_o eat_v the_o forbid_a fruit_n see_v the_o eat_n of_o the_o fruit_n which_o he_o have_v forbid_v must_v needs_o be_v with_o a_o gross_a obliquity_n i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o this_o distinction_n will_v justify_v god_n for_o adam_n sin_v because_o he_o eat_v the_o fruit_n that_o be_v forbid_v but_o they_o say_v god_n decree_v that_o he_o shall_v eat_v the_o fruit_n which_o be_v forbid_v necessary_o and_o unavoidable_o the_o conclusion_n be_v too_o blasphemous_a to_o be_v often_o repeat_v the_o reader_n may_v see_v how_o well_o that_o common_a distinction_n hold_v water_n yea_o if_o this_o nicety_n be_v sound_a man_n himself_o may_v prove_v that_o he_o commit_v no_o murder_n though_o he_o stab_v the_o dead_a party_n to_o the_o heart_n for_o at_o his_o arraignment_n he_o may_v tell_v the_o judge_n that_o hedid_v indeed_o thrust_v his_o dagger_n into_o his_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v not_o that_o which_o take_v away_o his_o life_n but_o the_o extinction_n of_o his_o natural_a heat_n and_o vital_a spirit_n who_o see_v not_o the_o wild_a frenzy_n of_o he_o who_o shall_v make_v this_o apology_n yet_o this_o be_v all_o our_o adversary_n say_v for_o god_n they_o say_v his_o decree_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o adam_n take_v the_o fruit_n and_o put_v it_o into_o his_o mouth_n and_z ate_z that_o which_o he_o have_v command_v he_o shall_v not_o eat_v yet_o they_o say_v he_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o commandment_n the_o example_n of_o the_o halt_a jade_n be_v a_o mere_a impertinency_n for_o suppose_v it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v not_o appliable_a to_o we_o who_o halt_v natural_o yet_o adam_n before_o this_o action_n be_v sound_a and_o therefore_o god_n necessitate_v he_o to_o such_o a_o inconveniency_n deal_v with_o he_o as_o if_o one_o shall_v drive_v a_o lusty_a nag_n into_o rough_a passage_n where_o he_o must_v needs_o break_v his_o leg_n neither_o be_v it_o as_o i_o say_v appliable_a unto_o we_o the_o lame_a posterity_n of_o adam_n for_o the_o who_o ride_v a_o horse_n that_o be_v lame_a before_o although_o he_o be_v not_o a_o cause_n of_o the_o impotency_n which_o he_o find_v in_o the_o horse_n already_o yet_o in_o urge_v he_o to_o motion_n he_o be_v now_o a_o cause_n of_o the_o actual_a imperfection_n in_o the_o motion_n and_o so_o perhaps_o a_o cause_n of_o increase_a the_o impotency_n for_o the_o future_a though_o he_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o lameness_n yet_o he_o be_v of_o his_o limp_a at_o that_o time_n let_v the_o horse_n stand_v still_o and_o see_v whether_o he_o will_v halt_v or_o no._n marry_o if_o the_o horse_n go_v of_o himself_o than_o the_o rider_n be_v no_o cause_n of_o his_o halt_n and_o so_o we_o may_v say_v that_o all_o our_o halting_n be_v from_o ourselves_o without_o any_o instigation_n from_o god_n i_o know_v our_o opposite_n have_v another_o shist_n teach_v that_o god_n use_v to_o punish_v one_o sin_n by_o make_v we_o to_o commit_v another_o so_o that_o although_o we_o sin_v he_o do_v but_o punish_v albeit_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v this_o to_o be_v true_a as_o it_o be_v common_o expound_v yet_o i_o abstain_v at_o this_o time_n from_o a_o far_a examination_n of_o it_o because_o it_o weaken_v not_o my_o argument_n about_o adam_n for_o his_o sin_n be_v the_o first_o that_o ever_o he_o commit_v and_o the_o original_n of_o all_o that_o ever_o follow_v and_o therefore_o if_o god_n decree_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o eat_v the_o forbid_a fruit_n as_o our_o adversary_n teach_v its_o apparent_a who_o they_o make_v the_o author_n of_o all_o sin_n these_o two_o argument_n well_o scan_v be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v any_o not_o forestalled_n with_o pre-conceit_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o that_o opinion_n which_o believe_v all_o thing_n to_o come_v to_o pass_v necessary_o by_o reason_n of_o god_n irresistible_a decree_n and_o therefore_o they_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o confutation_n of_o it_o moreover_o see_v it_o be_v clog_v with_o such_o monstrous_a consequence_n methinks_v our_o opinion_n shall_v be_v far_o more_o amiable_a which_o give_v no_o countenance_n to_o such_o hideous_a misshapen_v error_n as_o it_o will_v appear_v by_o the_o process_n of_o this_o disputation_n now_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o our_o opinion_n concern_v the_o contingency_n of_o some_o event_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n by_o two_o argument_n more_o arg._n 1_o the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o god_n have_v decree_v that_o all_o his_o creature_n ordinary_o and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n shall_v work_v according_a to_o their_o several_a kind_n and_o endowment_n by_o which_o he_o in_o the_o creation_n distinguish_v they_o for_o illustration_n they_o may_v be_v rank_v into_o three_o several_a form_n in_o the_o low_a stand_v the_o mere_a natural_a agent_n inanimate_a and_o senseless_a creature_n to_o these_o god_n have_v give_v certain_a instinct_n and_o inclination_n by_o which_o they_o be_v determinate_o sway_v to_o these_o or_o these_o certain_a effect_n and_o operation_n unless_o they_o be_v outward_o hinder_v for_o heavy_a body_n can_v choose_v but_o descend_v fire_n can_v choose_v but_o burn_v etc._n etc._n in_o the_o second_o stand_v the_o sersitive_a creature_n fourfooted_a beast_n foul_n and_o fish_n to_o these_o god_n have_v give_v sense_n and_o knowledge_n to_o discern_v what_o be_v good_a for_o their_o nature_n and_o what_o be_v bad_a and_o among_o diverse_a good_n to_o prefer_v that_o which_o be_v best_a he_o have_v give_v they_o also_o a_o free_a appetite_n or_o a_o kind_n of_o sensitive_a will_n by_o which_o they_o may_v either_o free_o prosecute_v or_o avoid_v such_o object_n as_o they_o like_v or_o mislike_v not_o determinate_o tie_v to_o this_o or_o that_o certain_a operation_n as_o the_o other_o be_v a_o stone_n can_v choose_v but_o descend_v but_o a_o beast_n may_v as_o well_o go_v up_o hill_n as_o down_o etc._n etc._n in_o the_o upper_a form_n be_v man_n reasonable_a creature_n who_o god_n have_v make_v more_o voluntary_a than_o the_o other_o by_o give_v they_o great_a freedom_n of_o choice_n and_o present_v unto_o their_o more_o elevate_a knowledge_n a_o great_a variety_n of_o object_n now_o then_o without_o doubt_n god_n distinguish_v thus_o his_o creature_n in_o ability_n and_o faculty_n that_o they_o may_v operate_v in_o their_o several_a kind_n that_o the_o natural_a agent_n may_v work_v natural_o the_o voluntary_a voluntary_o as_o that_o eloquent_a frenchman_n du_n vain_a have_v well_o explain_v this_o point_n the_o truth_n of_o all_o this_o no_o man_n will_v deny_v explicit_o well_o then_o let_v they_o hearken_v to_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o truth_n so_o common_a both_o in_o logic_n and_o metaphysic_n among_o those_o who_o handle_v of_o natural_a and_o voluntary_a cause_n if_o god_n have_v decree_v that_o many_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v voluntary_o by_o his_o creature_n than_o also_o have_v he_o decree_v that_o many_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v contingent_o in_o respect_n of_o he_o but_o the_o first_o be_v grant_v truth_n therefore_o the_o second_o shall_v be_v the_o connexion_n i_o prove_v thus_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v contingent_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n which_o for_o aught_o he_o have_v decree_v might_n with_o as_o much_o possibility_n not_o be_v as_o be_v but_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v do_v by_o the_o crea_fw-la ure_n voluntary_o may_v as_o well_o not_o be_v do_v as_o do_v therefore_o if_o he_o have_v decree_v that_o many_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v voluntary_o he_o have_v also_o decree_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v do_v contingent_o the_o minor_a be_v evident_a because_o if_o the_o creature_n may_v not_o as_o well_o omit_v they_o as_o do_v they_o they_o do_v they_o not_o voluntary_o but_o necessary_o this_o argument_n both_o confirm_v
