If this be Grotius his meaning, I assent, that Omnes minae quibus non adest irrevocabilitatis signum, intelligendae sunt ex suâpte naturâ dejure comminantis ad relaxandum nihil imminuere, (viz.) so far as they are no predictions of event; otherwise Gods bare prediction is a note of irrevocability: And his two notes, viz.
