unreasonable_a and_o therefore_o no_o doubt_n there_o be_v some_o reason_n that_o move_v he_o to_o this_o limitation_n of_o his_o will_n we_o may_v answer_v that_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o god_n have_v some_o reason_n though_o not_o without_o himself_o of_o this_o his_o prorogation_n nay_o we_o may_v without_o offence_n go_v so_o far_o as_o to_o give_v some_o reason_n of_o this_o dilation_n in_o general_a that_o god_n will_v not_o from_o everlasting_a create_v the_o world_n to_o show_v the_o independency_n of_o his_o existence_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o creature_n as_o also_o to_o give_v

he_o that_o can_v so_o long_o be_v without_o we_o may_v without_o any_o inconueniency_n unto_o himself_o for_o ever_o have_v continue_v in_o that_o state_n of_o lonelinesse_n so_o that_o of_o the_o defer_v of_o the_o creation_n in_o general_a there_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n give_v but_o why_o he_o begin_v at_o this_o time_n rather_o than_o at_o any_o other_o either_o before_o or_o after_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n but_o his_o own_o freewill_n know_v unto_o us._n but_o here_o arise_v a_o doubt_n whether_o god_n can_v have_v begin_v soon_o or_o put_v off_o long_o this_o work_n of_o creation_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o he_o can_v by_o his_o potential_a and_o absolute_a power_n he_o can_v not_o by_o his_o actual_a and_o conditional_a for_o god_n power_n have_v a_o twofold_a consideration_n the_o one_o absolute_a without_o regard_n of_o any_o his_o decree_n whatsoever_o whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v all_o even_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v not_o the_o other_o conditional_a join_v with_o the_o consideration_n and_o respect_n of_o his_o will_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v all_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v and_o only_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o will_n god_n therefore_o respect_v without_o his_o decree_n be_v able_a soon_o or_o late_a to_o create_v the_o world_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v he_o together_o with_o his_o purpose_n he_o can_v not_o either_o have_v prevent_v or_o defer_v this_o his_o intend_a work_n of_o the_o creation_n nor_o do_v we_o hereby_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o freedom_n or_o bind_v he_o to_o any_o part_n of_o the_o contradiction_n but_o if_o he_o be_v bind_v sure_o he_o have_v bind_v himself_o have_v this_o law_n only_o prescibe_v he_o that_o he_o deny_v not_o himself_o that_o be_v indeed_o to_o take_v away_o his_o godhead_n but_o if_o god_n will_v not_o from_o everlasting_a make_v the_o world_n how_o be_v he_o not_o change_v in_o his_o will_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n will_v from_o everlasting_a make_v the_o world_n but_o he_o will_v not_o make_v the_o world_n from_o everlasting_a that_o be_v in_o plain_a term_n god_n have_v from_o everlasting_a a_o will_n and_o purpose_n to_o create_v the_o world_n but_o it_o never_o be_v his_o will_n that_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v a_o coeternall_a be_v with_o himself_o so_o that_o god_n will_v be_v still_o the_o same_o altogether_o unalter_a but_o they_o far_o urge_v this_o argument_n demand_v how_o god_n by_o a_o everlasting_a and_o old_a action_n of_o his_o will_n can_v in_o time_n create_v the_o world_n anew_o remain_v himself_o unchangeable_a to_o which_o we_o may_v answer_v that_o a_o continue_a action_n of_o his_o will_n how_o ancient_a soever_o execute_v only_o that_o which_o he_o before_o intend_v may_v well_o stand_v without_o admission_n of_o alteration_n as_o for_o example_n if_o the_o purpose_n of_o my_o will_n to_o day_n be_v to_o journey_n towards_o london_n the_o next_o week_n which_o also_o according_a unto_o purpose_n i_o perform_v will_v any_o man_n say_v my_o will_n be_v change_v in_o like_a sort_n god_n from_o everlasting_a decree_a to_o create_v the_o world_n at_o such_o a_o time_n if_o at_o the_o time_n purpose_v this_o his_o decree_n be_v put_v in_o execution_n be_v not_o thereby_o change_v nay_o rather_o he_o be_v thereby_o to_o be_v think_v more_o unchangeable_a for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o perform_v that_o which_o before_o he_o do_v determine_v why_o but_o say_v they_o god_n be_v not_o free_v from_o alteration_n because_o that_o of_o a_o non-creator_n he_o be_v make_v a_o creator_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n be_v not_o hereby_o change_v albeit_o there_o be_v indeed_o some_o change_n though_o improper_o so_o call_v when_o as_o the_o world_n proceed_v from_o not_o be_v

receive_v that_o be_v we_o shall_v make_v it_o plain_a by_o this_o supposition_n let_v we_o imagine_v a_o vault_n or_o other_o close_a place_n so_o fence_v from_o the_o sun_n beam_n that_o no_o
