voluntary_a action_n that_o spontaneity_n consist_v in_o inconsiderateness_n or_o indeliberation_n as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o when_o he_o say_v it_o must_v mean_v that_o or_o nothing_o whereas_o indeed_o his_o adversary_n will_v be_v as_o well_o content_a it_o shall_v mean_v nothing_o as_o that_o for_o inconsideration_n be_v the_o privation_n and_o want_n of_o consider_v where_o it_o shall_v and_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v i._n e._n in_o agent_n of_o reason_n and_o will_n for_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o natural_a agent_n that_o have_v no_o reason_n and_o will_n do_v act_n inconsiderate_o for_o when_o the_o water_n do_v sponte_fw-la fluere_fw-la and_o the_o fire_n calefacere_fw-la we_o can_v say_v they_o do_v it_o inconsiderate_o or_o for_o want_n of_o that_o deliberation_n of_o which_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a for_o you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v they_o act_v so_o for_o want_n of_o reason_n and_o if_o want_v of_o reason_n and_o deliberation_n make_v a_o action_n spontaneous_a than_o all_o violent_a action_n will_v be_v spontaneous_a for_o they_o also_o want_v reason_n in_o all_o natural_a agent_n as_o that_o the_o water_n ascend_v for_o want_v of_o reason_n and_o deliberation_n and_o therefore_o the_o next_o time_n mr._n hobbs_n mean_v to_o play_v the_o philosopher_n about_o necessity_n and_o liberty_n i_o shall_v advise_v he_o to_o take_v better_a notice_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o difference_n between_o spontaneous_n and_o voluntary_a action_n man_n call_v those_o voluntary_a action_n as_o the_o word_n itself_o import_v that_o proceed_v from_o the_o will_n i.e._n voluntary_a agent_n and_o those_o spontaneous_a that_o proceed_v from_o the_o fix_a unchangeable_a nature_n of_o i.e._n from_o natural_a agent_n if_o mr._n hobbs_n know_v not_o this_o difference_n let_v he_o learn_v against_o another_o time_n if_o he_o do_v know_v it_o it_o have_v be_v the_o part_n of_o a_o good_a philosopher_n to_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o when_o he_o will_v prove_v that_o spontaneous_a and_o voluntary_a be_v all_o one_o to_o make_v instance_n in_o such_o action_n as_o be_v in_o that_o more_o appropriate_a and_o special_a sense_n call_v spontaneous_a such_o as_o i_o name_v before_o the_o water_n be_v flow_v and_o the_o fire_n be_v heat_n and_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o be_v also_o voluntary_a that_o be_v do_v follow_v the_o last_o will_n of_o the_o water_n and_o fire_n for_o so_o voluntary_a be_v define_v now_o if_o no_o man_n in_o his_o right_a wit_n will_v either_o say_v that_o these_o be_v voluntary_a or_o gainsay_v their_o be_v spontaneous_a i.e._n that_o they_o do_v sponte_fw-la agere_fw-la it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o manifest_a difference_n between_o those_o sort_n of_o action_n and_o second_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o those_o thing_n which_o differ_v for_o more_o distinct_a knowledge_n shall_v have_v give_v they_o also_o different_a appellation_n and_o three_o that_o none_o be_v of_o themselves_o more_o apt_a though_o they_o may_v sometime_o be_v use_v promiscuous_o than_o those_o of_o voluntary_a and_o spontaneous_a but_o for_o so_o much_o as_o i_o have_v already_o take_v notice_n of_o in_o the_o first_o point_n whether_o he_o be_v mistake_v in_o the_o bishop_n or_o i_o in_o he_o it_o make_v not_o much_o either_o for_o or_o against_o the_o principal_a question_n of_o liberty_n for_o i_o find_v no_o mention_n of_o spontaneity_n afterward_o that_o there_o need_v any_o enquiry_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o definition_n of_o it_o but_o for_o voluntary_a action_n because_o we_o have_v often_o use_v of_o they_o in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n it_o will_v be_v better_a worth_n the_o labour_n to_o examine_v what_o they_o be_v define_v to_o be_v those_o action_n that_o follow_v immediate_o the_o last_o appetite_n be_v voluntary_a i_o shall_v acknowledge_v this_o definition_n if_o the_o word_n last_v do_v not_o corrupt_v it_o which_o make_v it_o either_o false_a or_o frivolous_a for_o if_o he_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v the_o last_o will_n before_o it_o be_v follow_v it_o be_v false_a for_o it_o become_v rather_o the_o last_o by_o be_v follow_v or_o if_o that_o will_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v follow_v because_o it_o be_v last_o it_o be_v also_o false_a for_o the_o action_n follow_v the_o will_v because_o it_o be_v the_o will_n not_o because_o it_o be_v the_o last_o will_n for_o the_o will_n be_v last_o because_o it_o be_v follow_v not_o follow_v because_o it_o be_v last_o it_o be_v not_o first_n or_o last_o that_o make_v a_o thing_n will_v but_o because_o it_o be_v good_a or_o seem_v so_o or_o if_o there_o be_v a_o sense_n in_o which_o it_o be_v not_o false_a it_o be_v yet_o frivolous_a as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v out_o of_o a_o deep_a contemplation_n and_o observation_n of_o nature_n no_o man_n die_v ever_o of_o any_o disease_n but_o the_o last_o he_o be_v sick_a of_o no_o man_n ever_o drink_v a_o whole_a glass_n of_o wine_n but_o the_o last_o when_o he_o drink_v it_o if_o the_o word_n last_v carry_v no_o force_n in_o it_o either_o to_o make_v the_o disease_n more_o malignant_a or_o the_o wine_n more_o pleasant_a such_o speculation_n though_o they_o have_v a_o truth_n in_o they_o will_v go_v for_o no_o better_a than_o ridiculous_a so_o last_v which_o add_v nothing_o to_o the_o will_n may_v have_v be_v leave_v out_o in_o the_o definition_n and_o yet_o i_o be_o content_a it_o shall_v stand_v there_o still_o until_o you_o see_v more_o cause_n to_o remove_v it_o as_o perhaps_o you_o may_v when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o point_n for_o there_o we_o be_v promise_v to_o hear_v more_o of_o the_o same_o matter_n a_o point_n set_v apart_o of_o purpose_n to_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o will_n and_o inclination_n second_o point_n be_v the_o definition_n of_o deliberation_n deliberation_n be_v nothing_o but_o alternate_a hope_n and_o fear_v or_o alternate_a appetite_n to_o do_v or_o quit_v the_o action_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a impropriety_n of_o speech_n 1._o to_o say_v that_o deliberation_n which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n shall_v be_v either_o fear_n or_o hope_n which_o be_v affection_n such_o a_o confuse_a tumble_v together_o of_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n become_v only_o he_o that_o either_o understand_v not_o or_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v but_o perhaps_o his_o meaning_n may_v be_v that_o the_o understanding_n in_o deliberation_n represent_v one-while_n matter_n of_o fear_n otherwhile_o of_o hope_n this_o i_o confess_v be_v true_a and_o that_o this_o hope_n or_o fear_n do_v not_o always_o produce_v such_o a_o resolution_n and_o act_n of_o the_o will_n upon_o which_o the_o action_n follow_v but_o yet_o produce_v a_o true_a and_o perfect_a resolution_n or_o act_v of_o the_o will._n for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o have_v true_a cause_n and_o matter_n of_o hope_n represent_v to_o he_o but_o he_o must_v will_v it_o at_o least_o in_o a_o degree_n and_o so_o long_o as_o that_o hope_n be_v not_o impeach_v by_o a_o new_a deliberation_n so_o it_o be_v alike_o in_o fear_n that_o whosoever_o actual_o fear_v any_o evil_a effectual_o will_v the_o avoid_v of_o it_o till_o something_o intervene_v that_o divert_v the_o fear_n but_o of_o this_o more_o in_o the_o next_o point_n three_o point_n the_o will_n be_v define_v to_o be_v the_o last_o appetite_n and_o be_v immediate_o before_o the_o do_n of_o the_o action_n other_o appetite_n that_o come_v upon_o man_n in_o time_n of_o deliberation_n be_v but_o intention_n and_o inclination_n the_o truth_n of_o these_o and_o the_o like_a point_n say_v mr._n hobbs_n be_v to_o be_v try_v by_o reflection_n upon_o ourselves_o what_o we_o conceive_v when_o such_o speech_n be_v use_v and_o then_o the_o will_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o last_o appetite_n methinks_v mr._n hobbs_n shall_v have_v hear_v of_o voluntas_fw-la ambulatoria_fw-la a_o will_n liable_a to_o change_v and_o therefore_o every_o will_n be_v not_o the_o last_o for_o if_o you_o reflect_v you_o shall_v find_v a_o man_n serious_o to_o will_n and_o resolve_v that_o to_o day_n which_o the_o next_o day_n he_o will_v not_o when_o a_o man_n make_v his_o testament_n which_o be_v also_o call_v his_o last_o will_n and_o be_v indeed_o of_o all_o other_o the_o most_o resolve_a act_n of_o his_o will_n yet_o he_o may_v change_v that_o will_n and_o often_o man_n do_v it_o but_o than_o you_o say_v it_o cease_v to_o be_v his_o last_n will._n it_o be_v true_a and_o therefore_o something_o be_v a_o will_n for_o the_o time_n which_o be_v not_o the_o last_o appetite_n but_o it_o can_v now_o be_v call_v his_o will._n true_a because_o he_o have_v change_v it_o not_o because_o it_o be_v not_o last_v for_o herein_o say_v we_o consist_v the_o liberty_n of_o a_o voluntary_a

agent_n that_o he_o can_v change_v his_o will_n and_o make_v that_o not_o to_o be_v last_o which_o once_o be_v last_o that_o be_v he_o have_v power_n over_o his_o last_o will_n i_o mean_v over_o that_o which_o for_o the_o time_n be_v the_o last_o and_o be_v as_o serious_a and_o resolve_v as_o the_o last_o and_o for_o those_o action_n which_o he_o call_v only_a intention_n and_o inclination_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v call_v will_n see_v 1._o they_o be_v act_n of_o the_o will_n for_o no_o application_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o any_o thing_n upon_o a_o reason_n can_v proceed_v from_o the_o inferior_a sensitive_a part_n and_o therefore_o must_v either_o be_v act_n of_o the_o will_n or_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o and_o 2_o by_o mr._n hobbe_n own_o rule_n and_o definition_n of_o will_n every_o one_o of_o those_o successive_a appetite_n be_v will_n because_o till_o another_o consequent_a appetite_n follow_v they_o be_v the_o last_o for_o the_o time_n and_o therefore_o in_o their_o course_n and_o turn_v all_o be_v wi_n indeed_o after_o they_o be_v change_v and_o unwil_v again_o i_o think_v no_o man_n desire_v they_o shall_v be_v still_o call_v will_n when_o they_o cease_v to_o be_v at_o all_o four_o point_n to_o say_v he_o be_v a_o free_a agent_n be_v all_o one_o to_o say_v he_o have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o deliberation_n here_o i_o shall_v call_v mr._n hobbs_n again_o to_o his_o own_o reflection_n whether_o a_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v free_a before_o he_o have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o deliberation_n rather_o than_o after_o as_o when_o i_o desire_v to_o have_v a_o friend_n dine_v with_o i_o i_o meaning_n to_o ask_v he_o first_o whether_o he_o be_v engage_v or_o resolve_v for_o any_o other_o company_n do_v use_v these_o word_n sir_n be_v you_o free_a and_o if_o he_o answer_v i_o that_o he_o be_v free_a i_o present_o apprehend_v that_o he_o be_v not_o resolve_v for_o any_o particular_a but_o be_v still_o capable_a of_o a_o resolution_n to_o dine_v with_o i_o not_o but_o that_o he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v free_a too_o that_o have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o deliberation_n but_o in_o another_o sense_n that_o be_v he_o be_v free_a from_o all_o doubt_n that_o come_v by_o deliberation_n but_o the_o same_o may_v be_v free_a also_o before_o deliberation_n be_v end_v but_o it_o be_v from_o particular_a determination_n and_o resolution_n which_o be_v the_o freedom_n we_o defend_v to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o great_a and_o more_o proper_a freedom_n than_o the_o other_o for_o he_o that_o be_v free_a from_o deliberation_n act_v indeed_o free_o but_o it_o be_v in_o that_o one_o way_n to_o which_o he_o be_v resolve_v but_o he_o that_o be_v so_o free_a as_o to_o go_v any_o way_n be_v more_o free_a than_o he_o that_o go_v but_o free_o in_o one_o way_n five_o point_n liberty_n be_v the_o absence_n of_o all_o impediment_n to_o action_n that_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o nature_n and_o intrinsical_a quality_n of_o the_o agent_n if_o it_o will_v content_v mr._n hobbs_n that_o shall_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v one_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n but_o if_o i_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o do_v but_o what_o he_o desire_v i_o shall_v do_v reflect_v i_o find_v another_o sense_n and_o the_o very_a same_o which_o be_v deny_v by_o he_o a_o liberty_n from_o necessity_n as_o when_o a_o father_n recommend_v a_o wife_n to_o his_o son_n the_o son_n have_v no_o doubt_n liberty_n to_o take_v that_o wife_n in_o mr._n hobbs_n his_o sense_n and_o yet_o if_o the_o same_o son_n shall_v desire_v his_o father_n to_o give_v he_o his_o liberty_n the_o father_n will_v present_o apprehend_v that_o he_o desire_v somewhat_o that_o he_o have_v not_o give_v he_o that_o be_v leave_v as_o well_o to_o refuse_v she_o if_o he_o see_v cause_n as_o to_o take_v she_o he_o will_v not_o cavil_v with_o he_o and_o say_v you_o have_v the_o liberty_n in_o that_o you_o be_v tie_v to_o she_o but_o if_o he_o mean_v to_o give_v he_o his_o liberty_n his_o meaning_n also_o will_v be_v to_o absolve_v he_o of_o the_o necessity_n to_o take_v she_o by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o no_o advantage_n be_v get_v to_o mr._n hobbs_n by_o reflection_n which_o show_v a_o liberty_n from_o necessity_n reflect_v also_o six_o point_n be_v a_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o all_o action_n be_v necessitate_v because_o they_o have_v necessary_a cause_n i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n for_o when_o he_o say_v that_o all_o action_n have_v their_o necessary_a cause_n his_o meaning_n be_v if_o his_o meaning_n agree_v with_o the_o reason_n he_o give_v of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a they_o have_v cause_n because_o say_v he_o nothing_o can_v have_v beginning_n from_o it●_n self_n now_o can_v any_o one_o imagine_v that_o a_o reflect_a man_n shall_v think_v this_o a_o good_a consequence_n nothing_o can_v have_v beginning_n from_o itself_o and_o therefore_o every_o thing_n be_v necessitate_v that_o because_o a_o effect_n must_v necessary_o be_v produce_v by_o some_o cause_n that_o therefore_o the_o cause_n do_v necessary_o produce_v that_o effect_n for_o good_a sir_n reflect_v again_o and_o bethink_v yourself_o that_o as_o some_o effect_n can_v be_v produce_v but_o by_o a_o concurrence_n of_o many_o cause_n together_o every_o one_o of_o these_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o produce_v of_o the_o effect_n and_o yet_o not_o any_o one_o of_o these_o do_v necessitate_v the_o effect_n but_o rather_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o nothing_o shall_v be_v effect_v if_o that_o cause_n be_v single_a and_o alone_a seven_o point_n be_v another_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o voluntary_a action_n be_v necessitate_v because_o they_o have_v sufficient_a cause_n and_o all_o sufficient_a cause_n be_v necessary_a that_o all_o sufficient_a cause_n be_v necessary_a sufficient_a may_v have_v a_o double_a meaning_n either_o when_o there_o be_v sufficient_a virtue_n and_o aptness_n in_o
