Jacksons profound discourses, may see the vanity and weakness of them, in sundry passages, and especially so far as they tend to the undermining of the doctrine hitherto received.

Again I find that Gabriel Vasquius proposeth a question, Whether the power of God doth any manner of way differ 1from Gods knowledge and his will? And herein recites the opinion of Durand, maintaining that Gods wisdom and his will, are but the remote causes of divine actions; and that the power of God is the immediate cause of all. The contrary whereunto he maintains, namely that power or execution is needlessly attributed unto God, as distinct from his knowledge and his will; and this he delivers according to the doctrine of Scotus, Bassolis, Ferrariensis, Caietan, and Aquinas. ⟨p. 245⟩Neither of these opinions as I conceive serves your turn in making wisdom the Father, and power the Mother of Gods actions. These flashes of conceit are far distant from the conceits of any School divine, that I am acquainted with.
