be_v the_o order_n beauty_n and_o perfection_n which_o god_n have_v give_v the_o world_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o agent_n in_o the_o world_n but_o such_o as_o work_v a_o see_v necessity_n or_o

and_o therefore_o to_o clear_v the_o matter_n he_o say_v that_o such_o necessity_n be_v not_o antecedent_n but_o a_o necessity_n of_o supposition_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v the_o same_o kind_n of_o necessity_n which_o he_o attribute_v to_o the_o burn_a of_o the_o fire_n where_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o the_o thing_n throw_v into_o it_o shall_v be_v burn_v though_o yet_o it_o be_v but_o burn_v or_o but_o depart_v from_o the_o hand_n that_o throw_v it_o in_o and_o therefore_o the_o necessity_n be_v antecedent_n the_o like_a be_v in_o make_v a_o garment_n the_o necessity_n

conjunction_n know_v it_o be_v necessary_a the_o rest_n of_o his_o reply_n be_v to_o argue_v a_o contradiction_n in_o i_o for_o he_o say_v a_o i_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v some_o free_a agent_n and_o some_o contingent_a agent_n and_o that_o perhaps_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o world_n do_v require_v it_o but_o like_o a_o shrewd_a cow_n which_o after_o she_o have_v give_v her_o milk_n cast_v it_o down_o with_o her_o foot_n in_o the_o conclusion_n i_o tell_v he_o that_o nevertheless_o they_o be_v all_o necessary_a it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o say_v some_o be_v free_a agent_n and_o some_o contingent_a nevertheless_o they_o may_v be_v all_o necessary_a for_o according_a to_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n necessary_a free_a and_o contingent_a the_o distinction_n be_v no_o

be_v such_o agent_n as_o work_v we_o know_v not_o how_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o many_o necessary_a action_n shall_v be_v contingent_a and_o many_o contingent_a

and_o many_o action_n which_o we_o know_v not_o to_o be_v necessary_a may_v yet_o be_v necessary_a which_o be_v a_o truth_n but_o the_o bishop_n define_v contingent_n thus_o all_o thing_n which_o
