question_n that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a act_n of_o the_o will_n the_o one_o he_o say_v be_v actus_fw-la imperatus_fw-la a_o act_n do_v at_o the_o command_n of_o the_o will_n by_o some_o inferior_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o to_o open_v or_o shut_v one_o eye_n and_o this_o act_n may_v be_v compel_v the_o other_o he_o say_v be_v actus_fw-la elicitus_fw-la a_o act_n allure_v or_o draw_v forth_o by_o allurement_n out_o of_o the_o will_n as_o to_o will_n to_o choose_v to_o elect_v this_o he_o say_v can_v be_v compel_v wherein_o let_v pass_n that_o metaphorical_a speech_n of_o attribute_v command_n and_o subjection_n to_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o if_o they_o make_v a_o commonwealth_n or_o family_n within_o themselves_o and_o can_v speak_v one_o to_o another_o which_o be_v very_o improper_a in_o search_v the_o truth_n of_o a_o question_n you_o may_v observe_v first_o that_o to_o compel_v a_o voluntary_a act_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o will_v it_o for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o say_v my_o will_n command_v the_o shut_n of_o my_o eye_n or_o the_o do_n of_o any_o other_o action_n and_o to_o say_v i_o have_v the_o will_n to_o shut_v my_o eye_n so_o that_o actus_fw-la imperatus_fw-la here_o may_v as_o easy_o have_v be_v say_v in_o english_a a_o voluntry_n action_n but_o that_o they_o that_o invent_v the_o term_n understand_v not_o any_o thing_n it_o signify_v second_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o actus_fw-la elicitus_fw-la be_v exemplify_v by_o these_o word_n to_o will_v to_o elect_v to_o choose_v which_o be_v all_o one_o and_o so_o to_o will_n be_v here_o make_v a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n and_o indeed_o as_o the_o will_n be_v a_o faculty_n or_o power_n in_o a_o man_n soul_n so_o to_o will_n be_v a_o act_n of_o it_o according_a to_o that_o power_n but_o as_o it_o be_v absurd_o say_v that_o to_o dance_n be_v a_o act_n allure_v or_o draw_v by_o fair_a mean_n out_o of_o the_o ability_n to_o dance_v so_o be_v it_o also_o to_o say_v so_o that_o to_o will_n be_v a_o act_n allure_v or_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o power_n to_o will_n which_o power_n be_v common_o call_v the_o will_n howsoever_o it_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o his_o lordship_n distinction_n be_v that_o a_o voluntary_a act_n may_v be_v do_v by_o compulsion_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o foul_a mean_n but_o to_o will_v that_o or_o any_o act_n can_v be_v but_o by_o allurement_n or_o fair_a mean_n now_o see_v fair_a mean_n allurement_n and_o enticement_n produce_v the_o action_n which_o they_o do_v produce_v as_o necessary_o as_o foul_a mean_n and_o threaten_a it_o follow_v that_o to_o will_n may_v be_v make_v as_o necessary_a as_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v by_o compulsion_n so_o that_o the_o distinction_n of_o actus_fw-la imperatus_fw-la and_o actus_fw-la elicitus_fw-la be_v but_o word_n and_o of_o no_o effect_n against_o necessity_n his_o lordship_n in_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o discourse_n reckon_v up_o the_o opinion_n of_o certain_a profession_n of_o man_n touch_v the_o cause_n wherein_o the_o necessity_n of_o thing_n which_o they_o maintain_v consist_v and_o first_o he_o say_v the_o astrologer_n derive_v his_o necessity_n from_o the_o star_n second_o that_o the_o physician_n attribute_v it_o to_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o body_n for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o not_o of_o their_o opinion_n because_o neither_o the_o star_n alone_o nor_o the_o temperature_n of_o the_o patient_n alone_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v any_o effect_n without_o the_o concurrence_n of_o all_o other_o agent_n for_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o one_o action_n how_o casual_a soever_o it_o seem_v to_o the_o cause_v whereof_o concur_v not_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o rerum_fw-la natura_fw-la which_o because_o it_o be_v a_o great_a paradox_n and_o depend_v on_o many_o antecedent_n speculation_n i_o do_v not_o press_v in_o this_o place_n three_o he_o dispute_v against_o the_o opinion_n of_o they_o that_o say_v external_a object_n present_v to_o man_n of_o such_o and_o such_o temparature_n do_v make_v their_o action_n necessary_a and_o say_v the_o power_n such_o object_n have_v over_o we_o proceed_v from_o our_o own_o fault_n but_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n if_o such_o fault_n of_o we_o proceed_v from_o cause_n not_o in_o our_o own_o power_n and_o therefore_o that_o opinion_n may_v hold_v true_a for_o all_o that_o answer_n further_o he_o say_v prayer_n fast_v etc._n etc._n may_v alter_v our_o habit_n it_o be_v true_a but_o when_o they_o do_v so_o they_o be_v cause_n of_o the_o contrary_a habit_n and_o make_v it_o necessary_a as_o the_o former_a habit_n have_v be_v necessary_a if_o prayer_n fast_v etc._n etc._n have_v not_o be_v beside_o we_o be_v not_o move_v or_o dispose_v to_o prayer_n or_o any_o other_o action_n but_o by_o outward_a object_n as_o pious_a company_n godly_a preacher_n of_o something_o equivolent_a four_o he_o say_v a_o resolve_a mind_n be_v not_o easy_o surprise_v as_o the_o mind_n of_o ulysses_n who_o when_o other_o weep_v alone_o weep_v not_o and_o of_o the_o phylososopher_n that_o abstain_v from_o strike_v because_o he_o find_v himself_o angry_a and_o of_o he_o that_o pour_v out_o the_o water_n when_o he_o be_v thirsty_a and_o the_o like_a such_o thing_n i_o confess_v have_v or_o may_v have_v be_v do_v and_o do_v prove_v only_o that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o ulysses_n then_o to_o weep_v nor_o for_o that_o philosopher_n to_o strike_v nor_o for_o that_o other_o man_n to_o drink_v but_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o ulysses_n then_o to_o abstain_v as_o he_o do_v from_o weep_v nor_o for_o the_o philosopher_n to_o abstain_v as_o he_o do_v from_o strike_v nor_o for_o the_o other_o man_n to_o forbear_v drink_v and_o yet_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n his_o lordship_n ought_v to_o have_v prove_v last_o his_o lordship_n confess_v that_o the_o disposition_n of_o object_n may_v be_v dangerous_a to_o liberty_n but_o can_v be_v destructive_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o liberty_n be_v never_o in_o any_o other_o danger_n than_o to_o be_v lose_v and_o if_o it_o can_v be_v lose_v which_o he_o confess_v i_o may_v infer_v it_o can_v be_v in_o no_o danger_n at_o all_o the_o four_o opinion_n his_o lordship_n reject_v be_v of_o they_o that_o make_v the_o will_v necessary_o to_o follow_v the_o last_o dictate_v of_o the_o understanding_n but_o it_o seem_v his_o lordship_n understand_v that_o tenet_n in_o another_o sense_n than_o i_o do_v for_o he_o speak_v as_o if_o they_o that_o hold_v it_o do_v suppose_v man_n must_v dispute_v the_o sequel_n of_o every_o action_n they_o do_v great_a and_o small_a to_o the_o least_o grain_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n his_o lordship_n with_o reason_n think_v untrue_a but_o i_o understand_v it_o to_o signify_v that_o the_o will_n follow_v the_o last_o opinion_n or_o judgement_n immediate_o proceed_v the_o action_n concerning_o whether_o it_o be_v good_a to_o do_v it_o or_o not_o whether_o he_o have_v weigh_v it_o long_o before_o or_o not_o at_o all_o and_o that_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o that_o hold_v it_o as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n strike_v his_o will_n to_o strike_v follow_v necessary_o that_o think_v he_o have_v of_o the_o sequel_n of_o his_o stroke_n immediate_o before_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o his_o hand_n now_o if_o it_o be_v understand_v in_o that_o sense_n the_o last_o dictate_v of_o the_o understanding_n do_v necessitate_v the_o action_n though_o not_o as_o the_o whole_a cause_n yet_o as_o the_o last_o cause_n as_o the_o last_o feather_n necessitate_v the_o break_n of_o a_o horse_n back_o when_o there_o be_v so_o many_o lay_v on_o before_o as_o there_o need_v but_o the_o addition_n of_o one_o to_o make_v the_o weight_n sufficient_a that_o which_o his_o lordship_n allege_v against_o this_o be_v first_o out_o of_o a_o poet_n who_o in_o the_o person_n of_o medea_n say_v video_fw-la meliora_fw-la proboque_fw-la deteriora_fw-la sequor_fw-la but_o that_o say_v as_o pretty_a as_o it_o be_v be_v not_o true_a for_o though_o medea_n see_v many_o reason_n to_o forbear_v kill_v her_o child_n yet_o the_o last_o dictate_v of_o her_o judgement_n be_v that_o the_o present_a revenge_n on_o her_o husband_n outweigh_v they_o all_o and_o thereupon_o the_o wicked_a action_n necessary_o follow_v then_o the_o story_n of_o the_o roman_a who_o of_o two_o competitor_n say_v one_o have_v the_o better_a reason_n but_o the_o other_o must_v have_v the_o office_n this_o also_o make_v against_o his_o lordship_n for_o the_o last_o dictate_v of_o his_o judgement_n that_o have_v the_o bestow_n of_o the_o office_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o take_v a_o great_a bribe_n than_o reward_v a_o great_a merit_n three_o he_o object_v that_o

say_v what_o necessary_a cause_n soever_o precede_v a_o action_n yet_o if_o the_o action_n be_v forbid_v he_o that_o do_v it_o willing_o may_v just_o be_v punish_v for_o instance_n suppose_v the_o law_n on_o pain_n of_o death_n prohibit_v steal_v and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o man_n who_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o temptation_n be_v necessitate_v to_o steal_v and_o be_v thereupon_o put_v to_o death_n do_v not_o this_o punishment_n deter_v other_o from_o theft_n be_v it_o not_o a_o cause_n that_o other_o steal_v not_o do_v it_o not_o frame_v and_o make_v their_o will_n to_o justice_n to_o make_v the_o law_n be_v therefore_o to_o make_v a_o cause_n of_o justice_n and_o to_o necessitate_v justice_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v no_o injustice_n to_o make_v such_o a_o law_n the_o intention_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o grieve_v the_o delinquent_n for_o that_o which_o be_v past_a and_o not_o to_o be_v undo_v but_o to_o make_v he_o and_o other_o just_a that_o else_o will_v not_o be_v so_o and_o respect_v not_o the_o evil_a act_n past_a but_o the_o good_a to_o come_v in_o so_o much_o as_o without_o the_o good_a intention_n for_o the_o future_a no_o past_a act_n of_o a_o delinquent_n can_v justify_v his_o kill_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o be_v it_o just_a to_o kill_v one_o man_n to_o amend_v another_o if_o what_o be_v do_v be_v necessary_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o man_n be_v just_o kill_v not_o for_o that_o their_o action_n be_v not_o necessitate_v but_o because_o they_o be_v noxious_a and_o they_o be_v spare_v and_o preserve_v who_o action_n be_v not_o noxious_a for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o no_o kill_n nor_o any_o thing_n else_o can_v be_v unjust_a and_o by_o the_o right_n of_o nature_n we_o destroy_v without_o be_v unjust_a all_o that_o be_v noxious_a both_o beast_n and_o man_n and_o for_o beast_n we_o kill_v they_o just_o when_o we_o do_v it_o in_o order_n to_o our_o own_o preservation_n and_o yet_o my_o lord_n himself_o confess_v that_o their_o action_n as_o be_v only_o spontaneous_a and_o not_o free_a be_v all_o necessitate_v and_o determine_v to_o that_o one_o thing_n they_o shall_v do_v for_o man_n when_o we_o make_v society_n or_o commonwealth_n we_o lay_v not_o down_o our_o right_n to_o kill_v except_v in_o certain_a case_n as_o murder_v theft_n or_o other_o offensive_a action_n so_o that_o the_o right_a which_o the_o commonwealth_n have_v to_o put_v a_o man_n to_o death_n for_o crime_n be_v not_o create_v by_o the_o law_n but_o remain_v from_o the_o first_o right_n of_o nature_n which_o every_o man_n have_v to_o preserve_v himself_o for_o that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o take_v the_o right_a away_o in_o the_o case_n of_o criminal_n who_o be_v by_o the_o law_n except_v man_n be_v not_o therefore_o put_v to_o death_n or_o punish_v for_o that_o their_o theft_n proceed_v from_o election_n but_o because_o it_o be_v noxious_a and_o contrary_a to_o man_n preservation_n and_o the_o punishment_n conduce_v to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o rest_n in_o as_o much_o as_o to_o punish_v those_o that_o do_v voluntary_a hurt_n and_o none_o else_o frame_v and_o make_v man_n will_n such_o as_o man_n will_v have_v they_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o from_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o voluntary_a action_n can_v be_v infer_v the_o injustice_n of_o the_o law_n that_o forbid_v it_o or_o the_o magistrate_n that_o punish_v it_o second_o i_o deny_v that_o it_o make_v consultation_n to_o be_v in_o vain_a it_o be_v the_o consultation_n that_o cause_v a_o man_n and_o necessitate_v he_o to_o choose_v to_o do_v one_o thing_n rather_o than_o another_o so_o that_o unless_o a_o man_n say_v that_o that_o cause_n be_v in_o vain_a which_o necessitate_v the_o effect_n he_o can_v infer_v the_o superfluousness_n of_o consultation_n out_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o election_n proceed_v from_o it_o but_o it_o seem_v his_o lordship_n reason_n thus_o if_o i_o must_v do_v this_o rather_o than_o that_o i_o shall_v do_v this_o rather_o than_o that_o though_o i_o consult_v not_o at_o all_o which_o be_v a_o false_a proposition_n and_o a_o false_a consequence_n and_o no_o better_o than_o this_o if_o i_o shall_v live_v till_o to_o morrow_n i_o shall_v live_v till_o to_o morrow_n though_o i_o run_v myself_o through_o with_o a_o sword_n to_o day_n if_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o a_o action_n shall_v be_v do_v or_o that_o any_o effect_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o necessary_o requisite_a as_o a_o mean_n to_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v and_o therefore_o when_o it_o be_v determine_v that_o one_o thing_n shall_v be_v choose_v before_o another_o it_o be_v determine_v also_o for_o what_o cause_n it_o shall_v so_o be_v choose_v which_o cause_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v deliberation_n or_o consultation_n and_o therefore_o consultation_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a and_o indeed_o the_o less_o in_o vain_a by_o how_o much_o the_o election_n be_v more_o necessitate_v if_o more_o and_o less_o have_v any_o place_n in_o necessity_n the_o same_o answer_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o three_o suppose_v inconvenience_n namely_o that_o admonition_n be_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o admonition_n be_v part_n of_o consultation_n the_o admonitor_n be_v a_o counsellor_n for_o the_o time_n to_o he_o that_o be_v admonish_v the_o four_o pretend_v inconveence_n be_v that_o praise_n dispraise_n reward_n and_o punishment_n will_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o for_o praise_n and_o dispraise_v they_o depend_v not_o at_o all_o on_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o action_n praise_v or_o dispraise_v for_o what_o be_v it_o else_o to_o praise_v but_o to_o say_v a_o thing_n be_v good_a good_a i_o say_v for_o i_o or_o for_o some_o body_n else_o or_o for_o the_o state_n and_o commonwealth_n and_o what_o be_v it_o to_o say_v a_o action_n be_v good_a but_o to_o say_v it_o be_v as_o i_o will_v wish_v or_o as_o another_o will_v have_v it_o or_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o state_n that_o be_v to_o say_v according_a to_o the_o law_n do_v my_o lord_n think_v that_o no_o action_n can_v please_v i_o or_o he_o or_o the_o commonwealth_n that_o shall_v proceed_v from_o necessity_n thing_n may_v be_v therefore_o necessary_a and_o yet_o praise_v worthy_a as_o also_o necessary_a and_o yet_o dispraise_v and_o neither_o of_o they_o both_o in_o vain_a because_o praise_v and_o dispraise_v and_o likewise_o reward_n and_o punishment_n do_v by_o example_n make_v and_o conform_v the_o will_n to_o good_a and_o evil_a it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a praise_n in_o my_o opinion_n that_o velleius_n paterculus_n give_v cato_n where_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v good_a by_o nature_n et_fw-la quia_fw-la aliter_fw-la esse_fw-la non_fw-la potuit_fw-la to_o the_o five_o

that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o this_o consequence_n if_o the_o effect_n shall_v necessary_o come_v to_o pass_v than_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v without_o its_o cause_n be_v a_o false_a one_o and_o those_o thing_n name_v counsel_n art_n arm_n etc._n etc._n be_v the_o cause_n of_o these_o effect_n his_o lordship_n three_o argument_n consist_v in_o other_o inconvenience_n which_o he_o say_v will_v follow_v namely_o impiety_n and_o negligence_n of_o religious_a duty_n as_o repentance_n and_o zeal_n to_o god_n service_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v as_o to_o the_o rest_n that_o they_o follow_v not_o i_o must_v confess_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n not_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v but_o as_o they_o be_v that_o be_v as_o man_n who_o either_o the_o

have_v make_v unapt_a to_o discuss_v the_o truth_n of_o thing_n i_o must_v i_o say_v confess_v that_o the_o dispute_n of_o this_o question_n will_v rather_o hurt_v than_o help_v their_o piety_n and_o therefore_o if_o his_o lordship_n have_v not_o desire_v this_o answer_n i_o shall_v not_o have_v write_v it_o nor_o do_v i_o write_v it_o but_o in_o hope_n your_o lordship_n and_o his_o will_v keep_v

will_v what_o he_o will_v though_o he_o do_v not_o yet_o conceive_v in_o what_o manner_n the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v cause_v and_o yet_o i_o think_v the_o manner_n of_o it_o be_v not_o very_o hard_a to_o conceive_v see_v we_o see_v daily_o that_o praise_n dispraise_n reward_n and_o punishment_n good_a and_o evil_a sequel_n of_o man_n action_n retain_v in_o memory_n do_v frame_n and_o make_v we_o to_o the_o election_n of_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v that_o we_o elect_v and_o that_o the_o memory_n of_o such_o thing_n proceed_v from_o the_o sense_n and_o sense_n from_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o

necessary_a the_o other_o thing_n that_o he_o repeat_v be_v that_o the_o best_a way_n to_o reconcile_v contingence_n and_o liberty_n with_o prescience_n and_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v to_o subject_v future_a contingency_n to_o the_o aspect_n of_o god_n the_o same_o be_v also_o my_o opinion_n but_o contrary_a to_o what_o his_o lordship_n all_o this_o while_n labour_v to_o prove_v for_o hitherto_o he_o hold_v liberty_n and_o necessity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v liberty_n and_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n irreconcilable_a unless_o the_o aspect_n of_o god_n which_o word_n appear_v now_o the_o first_o time_n in_o this_o discourse_n signify_v somewhat_o else_o beside_o god_n will_n and_o decree_n which_o i_o can_v understand_v but_o he_o add_v that_o we_o must_v subject_v they_o according_a to_o that_o presentiality_n which_o they_o have_v in_o eternity_n which_o he_o say_v can_v be_v do_v by_o they_o that_o conceive_v eternity_n to_o be_v a_o everlasting_a succession_n but_o only_o by_o they_o that_o conceive_v it_o as_o a_o indivisible_a point_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o assoon_o as_o i_o can_v conceive_v eternity_n to_o be_v a_o indivisible_a point_n or_o any_o

an_o ever-abiding_a now_o which_o be_v easy_a enough_o to_o say_v but_o though_o i_o fain_o will_v yet_o i_o can_v never_o conceive_v it_o they_o that_o can_v be_v more_o happy_a than_o i._n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n his_o lordship_n allow_v all_o man_n to_o be_v of_o my_o opinion_n save_v only_o those_o that_o can_v conceive_v in_o their_o mind_n a_o nunc_fw-la stans_fw-la which_o i_o think_v be_v none_o i_o understand_v as_o little_o how_o it_o can_v be_v true_a his_o lordship_n say_v that_o god_n be_v not_o just_a but_o justice_n itself_o not_o wise_a but_o wisdom_n itself_o not_o eternal_a but_o eternity_n itself_o nor_o how_o he_o conclude_v thence_o that_o eternity_n be_v a_o point_n indivisible_a and_o not_o a_o succession_n nor_o in_o what_o sense_n it_o can_v be_v

i_o wonder_v therefore_o what_o be_v the_o design_n of_o the_o schoolman_n to_o bring_v they_o up_o unless_o they_o think_v a_o man_n can_v not_o be_v a_o true_a christian_n unless_o his_o understanding_n be_v first_o strangle_v with_o such_o hard_a saying_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o answer_v to_o his_o lordship_n discourse_n wherein_o i_o think_v not_o only_o his_o squadron_n of_o

it_o positive_o and_o as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v without_o any_o term_n of_o art_n in_o plain_a english_a my_o opinion_n about_o liberty_n and_o necessity_n first_o i_o conceive_v that_o when_o it_o come_v into_o a_o man_n mind_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v some_o certain_a action_n if_o he_o have_v no_o time_n to_o deliberate_v the_o do_v it_o or_o abstain_v necessary_o follow_v the_o present_a thought_n he_o have_v of_o the_o good_a or_o evil_a consequence_n thereof_o to_o himself_o as_o for_o example_n in_o sudden_a anger_n the_o action_n shall_v follow_v the_o thought_n of_o revenge_n in_o sudden_a fear_n the_o thought_n of_o escape_n also_o when_o a_o man_n have_v time_n to_o deliberate_v but_o deliberate_v not_o because_o never_o any_o thing_n appear_v that_o can_v make_v he_o doubt_v of_o the_o consequence_n the_o action_n follow_v his_o opinion_n of_o the_o goodness_n or_o harm_n of_o it_o these_o action_n i_o call_v voluntary_a my_o lord_n if_o i_o understand_v he_o aright_o that_o call_v they_o spontaneous_a i_o call_v they_o voluntary_a because_o those_o action_n that_o follow_v immediate_o the_o last_o appetite_n be_v voluntary_a and_o here_o where_o be_v one_o only_a appetite_n that_o one_o be_v the_o last_o beside_o i_o see_v it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o punish_v a_o rash_a action_n which_o can_v not_o be_v just_o do_v by_o man_n to_o man_n unless_o the_o same_o be_v voluntary_a for_o no_o action_n of_o a_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v without_o deliberation_n though_o never_o so_o sudden_a because_o it_o be_v suppose_v he_o have_v time_n to_o deliberate_v all_o the_o precedent_a time_n of_o his_o life_n whether_o he_o shall_v do_v that_o kind_n of_o action_n or_o not_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o he_o that_o kill_v in_o a_o sudden_a passion_n of_o anger_n shall_v nevertheless_o be_v just_o put_v to_o death_n because_o all_o the_o time_n wherein_o he_o be_v able_a to_o consider_v whether_o to_o kill_v be_v good_a or_o evil_a shall_v be_v hold_v for_o one_o continual_a deliberation_n and_o consequent_o the_o kill_n shall_v be_v judge_v to_o proceed_v fronelection_n second_o i_o conceive_v when_o a_o man_n deliberate_v whether_o he_o shall_v do_v a_o thing_n or_o not_o do_v it_o that_o he_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o consider_v whether_o it_o be_v better_o for_o himself_o to_o do_v it_o or_o not_o to_o do_v it_o and_o to_o consider_v a_o action_n be_v to_o imagine_v the_o consequence_n of_o it_o both_o good_a and_o evil_a from_o whence_o be_v to_o be_v infer_v that_o deliberation_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o alternate_a imagination_n of_o the_o good_a and_o evil_a sequel_n of_o a_o action_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n alternate_a hope_n and_o fear_n or_o alternate_a appetite_n to_o

appetite_n the_o last_o be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o will_n and_o be_v immediate_o next_o before_o the_o do_n of_o the_o action_n or_o next_o before_o the_o do_n of_o it_o become_v

be_v but_o one_o will_n which_o also_o in_o this_o case_n may_v be_v call_v the_o last_o will_n though_o the_o intention_n change_v often_o four_o i_o conceive_v that_o those_o action_n which_o a_o
