it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o first_o cause_n be_v a_o necessary_a cause_n of_o all_o the_o effect_n that_o be_v next_o and_o immediate_a to_o it_o and_o therefore_o by_o his_o lordship_n own_o reason_n all_o effect_n be_v necessary_a nor_o be_v that_o distinction_n of_o necessary_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o first_o cause_n and_o necessary_a in_o respect_n of_o second_o cause_v i_o it_o do_v as_o his_o lordship_n well_o note_v imply_v a_o contradiction_n but_o the_o distinction_n of_o free_a into_o free_a from_o compulsion_n and_o free_a from_o necessitation_n i_o acknowledge_v for_o to_o be_v free_a from_o compulsion_n be_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n so_o as_o terror_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o will_n to_o do_v it_o for_o a_o man_n be_v then_o only_o say_v to_o be_v compel_v when_o fear_n make_v he_o willing_a to_o it_o as_o when_o a_o man_n willing_o throw_v his_o good_n into_o the_o sea_n to_o save_v himself_o or_o submit_v to_o his_o enemy_n for_o fear_v of_o be_v kill_v thus_o all_o man_n that_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o love_n or_o revenge_n or_o lust_n be_v free_a from_o compulsion_n and_o yet_o their_o action_n may_v be_v as_o necessary_a as_o those_o that_o be_v do_v by_o compulsion_n for_o sometime_o other_o passion_n work_v as_o forcible_o as_o fear_v but_o free_a from_o necessitation_n i_o say_v no_o man_n can_v be_v and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o his_o lordship_n undertake_v to_o disprove_v this_o distinction_n his_o lordship_n say_v use_v to_o be_v fortify_v by_o two_o reason_n but_o they_o be_v not_o i_o the_o first_o he_o say_v be_v that_o it_o be_v grant_v by_o all_o divine_n that_o a_o hypothetical_a necessity_n or_o necessity_n upon_o supposition_n may_v stand_v with_o liberty_n that_o you_o may_v understand_v this_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o example_n of_o hypothetical_a necessity_n if_o i_o shall_v live_v i_o shall_v eat_v this_o be_v a_o hypothetical_a necessity_n indeed_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a proposition_n that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o that_o proposition_n shall_v be_v true_a whensoever_o utter_v but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o thing_n nor_o be_v it_o therefore_o necessary_a that_o the_o man_n shall_v live_v nor_o that_o the_o man_n shall_v eat_v i_o do_v not_o use_v to_o fortify_v my_o distinction_n with_o such_o reason_n let_v his_o lordship_n confute_v they_o how_o he_o will_v it_o content_v i_o but_o i_o will_v have_v your_o lordship_n take_v notice_n hereby_o how_o easy_a and_o plain_o a_o thing_n but_o withal_o false_a with_o the_o grave_a usage_n of_o such_o term_n as_o hypothetical_a necessity_n and_o necessity_n upon_o supposition_n and_o such_o like_a term_n of_o schoolman_n may_v be_v obscure_v and_o make_v to_o seem_v profound_a learning_n the_o second_o reason_n that_o may_v confirm_v the_o distinction_n of_o free_a from_o compulsion_n and_o free_a from_o necessitation_n he_o say_v be_v that_o god_n and_o good_a angel_n do_v good_a necessary_o and_o yet_o be_v more_o free_a than_o we_o this_o reason_n though_o i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o so_o farforth_o good_a as_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n and_o good_a angel_n do_v good_a necessary_o and_o yet_o be_v free_a but_o because_o i_o find_v not_o in_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n nor_o in_o the_o decree_n of_o our_o church_n set_v down_o in_o what_o manner_n i_o be_o to_o conceive_v god_n and_o good_a angel_n to_o work_v by_o necessity_n or_o in_o what_o sense_n they_o work_v free_o i_o suspend_v my_o sentence_n in_o that_o point_n and_o be_o content_a that_o there_o be_v a_o freedom_n from_o compulsion_n and_o yet_o no_o freedom_n from_o necessitation_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v in_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v necessitate_v to_o some_o action_n without_o threat_n and_o without_o fear_n of_o danger_n but_o how_o my_o lord_n can_v avoid_v the_o consist_v together_o of_o freedom_n and_o necessity_n suppose_v god_n and_o good_a angel_n be_v free_a than_o man_n and_o yet_o do_v good_a necessary_o that_o we_o must_v examine_v i_o confess_v say_v he_o that_o god_n and_o good_a angel_n be_v more_o free_a than_o we_o that_o be_v intensive_o in_o degree_n of_o freedom_n not_o extensive_o in_o the_o latitude_n of_o the_o object_n according_a to_o a_o liberty_n of_o exercise_n not_o of_o specification_n again_o we_o have_v here_o two_o distinction_n that_o be_v no_o distinction_n but_o make_v to_o seem_v so_o by_o term_n invent_v by_o i_o know_v not_o who_o to_o cover_v ignorance_n and_o blind_v the_o understanding_n of_o the_o reader_n for_o it_o can_v be_v conceive_v that_o there_o be_v any_o liberty_n great_a than_o for_o a_o man_n to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v one_o heat_n may_v be_v more_o intensive_a than_o another_o but_o not_o one_o liberty_n than_o another_o he_o that_o can_v do_v what_o he_o will_v have_v all_o liberty_n possible_a and_o he_o that_o can_v have_v none_o at_o all_o also_o liberty_n as_o his_o lordship_n say_v the_o school_n call_v it_o of_o exercise_n which_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o a_o liberty_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v can_v be_v without_o a_o liberty_n which_o they_o call_v of_o specification_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o liberty_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o in_o particular_a for_o how_o can_v a_o man_n conceive_v he_o have_v liberty_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o have_v not_o liberty_n to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o or_o somewhat_o in_o particular_a if_o a_o man_n be_v forbid_v in_o lent_n to_o eat_v this_o and_o that_o and_o every_o other_o particular_a kind_n of_o flesh_n how_o can_v he_o be_v understand_v to_o have_v a_o liberty_n to_o eat_v flesh_n more_o than_o he_o that_o have_v no_o licence_n at_o all_o you_o may_v by_o this_o again_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o distinction_n use_v in_o the_o school_n and_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o impose_n of_o they_o by_o authority_n of_o doctor_n in_o the_o church_n have_v be_v a_o great_a cause_n that_o man_n have_v labour_v though_o by_o sedition_n and_o evil_a course_n to_o shake_v they_o off_o for_o nothing_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o beget_v hatred_n than_o the_o tyrannize_n over_o man_n reason_n and_o understanding_n especial_o when_o it_o be_v do_v not_o by_o the_o scripture_n but_o by_o the_o pretence_n of_o learning_n and_o more_o judgement_n than_o that_o of_o other_o man_n in_o the_o next_o place_n his_o lordship_n bring_v two_o argument_n against_o distinguish_v between_o free_a from_o compulsion_n and_o free_a from_o necessitation_n the_o first_o be_v that_o election_n be_v opposite_a not_o only_o to_o coaction_n or_o compulsion_n but_o also_o necessitation_n or_o determination_n to_o one_o this_o be_v it_o he_o be_v to_o prove_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o therefore_o bring_v no_o new_a argument_n to_o prove_v it_o and_o so_o those_o bring_v former_o i_o have_v already_o answer_v and_o in_o this_o place_n i_o deny_v again_o that_o election_n be_v opposite_a to_o either_o for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v compel_v for_o example_n to_o subject_v himself_o to_o a_o enemy_n or_o to_o die_v he_o have_v ●till_o election_n leave_v he_o and_o a_o deliberation_n to_o bethink_v which_o of_o the_o two_o he_o can_v better_o endure_v and_o he_o that_o ●●led_v to_o prison_n by_o force_n have_v election_n ●nd_v may_v deliberate_v whether_o he_o will_v ●e_z hale_v and_o train_v on_o the_o ground_n ●r_v make_v use_n of_o his_o own_o foot_n likewise_o when_o there_o be_v no_o compulsion_n but_o the_o strength_n of_o temptation_n to_o do_v ●n_o evil_a action_n be_v great_a than_o the_o motive_n to_o abstain_v it_o necessary_o determine_v he_o to_o the_o do_n of_o it_o ●et_o he_o deliberate_v while_o sometime_o the_o motive_n to_o do_v sometime_o the_o motive_n to_o forbear_v be_v work_v on_o ●im_n and_o consequent_o he_o elect_v which_o he_o will_v but_o common_o when_o we_o see_v and_o know_v the_o strength_n that_o move_v we_o we_o acknowledge_v necessity_n but_o when_o we_o see_v not_o or_o mark_v not_o the_o force_n that_o move_v we_o we_o then_o think_v there_o be_v none_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o cause_n but_o liberty_n that_o produce_v the_o action_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o think_v he_o do_v not_o choose_v this_o that_o of_o necessity_n choose_v it_o but_o they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v fire_n do_v not_o burn_v because_o it_o burn_v of_o necessity_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o argument_n as_o a_o distinction_n to_o show_v in_o what_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o voluntary_a action_n be_v necessitate_v and_o in_o what_o sense_n not_o and_o therefore_o his_o lordship_n allege_v as_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o school_n and_o that_o which_o rip_v up_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o
