do_v and_o this_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o reason_n for_o if_o according_a to_o galen_n good_a diet_n preserve_v health_n and_o consequent_o prolong_v life_n may_v we_o not_o allow_v the_o same_o

chap._n 3.8_o it_o shall_v be_v health_n to_o my_o navel_n and_o marrow_n to_o my_o bone_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v man_n shall_v not_o live_v by_o bread_n only_o but_o

by_o this_o mean_v the_o event_n shall_v answer_v the_o determination_n of_o the_o planet_n and_o yet_o the_o people_n escape_v too_o for_o as_o david_n say_v ps_n 33.18_o 19_o behold_v the_o eye_n

which_o way_n soever_o the_o sentiment_n of_o the_o rabbin_n be_v explain_v this_o be_v certain_o true_a that_o piety_n be_v much_o more_o efficacious_a than_o the_o planet_n so_o that_o when_o the_o

they_o reason_v if_o god_n exact_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o dispose_v they_o in_o such_o order_n from_o eternity_n how_o can_v it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o prolong_v or_o shorten_v his_o life_n for_o example_n if_o god_n infallible_o know_v from_o all_o eternity_n that_o abraham_n will_v live_v 175_o year_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o sound_n and_o healthful_a constitution_n which_o he_o have_v give_v he_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o abraham_n can_v not_o alter_v that_o determination_n now_o if_o this_o be_v true_a it_o be_v demand_v how_o god_n prescience_n and_o man_n freewill_n then_o such_o contrary_a thing_n be_v consistent_a together_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o i_o be_o very_o unwilling_a to_o engage_v in_o so_o nice_a and_o intricate_a a_o controversy_n euclid_n once_o be_v ask_v many_o thing_n about_o god_n only_o reply_v this_o i_o very_o well_o know_v that_o god_n abhor_v those_o that_o be_v too_o curious_a and_o inquisitive_a nevertheless_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o scripture_n i_o believe_v i_o can_v illustrate_v and_o explain_v these_o thing_n there_o be_v some_o man_n heretofore_o who_o when_o they_o can_v not_o reconcile_v god_n foreknowledge_n with_o man_n freewill_n deny_v both_o as_o cicero_n who_o that_o he_o may_v maintain_v the_o freedom_n of_o humane_a action_n will_v allow_v no_o prescience_n in_o god_n which_o be_v well_o observe_v by_o st._n augustine_n cicero_n say_v he_o that_o he_o may_v make_v man_n free_a make_v they_o sacrilegious_a there_o be_v other_o that_o deny_v man_n freewill_n that_o they_o may_v establish_v the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n wherefore_o i_o design_n to_o confirm_v and_o settle_v these_o two_o thing_n before_o i_o proceed_v to_o a_o re-conciliation_a and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n know_v all_o future_a contingent_a thing_n from_o eternity_n after_o that_o i_o shall_v maintain_v that_o a_o man_n may_v
