But Hobbes meeteth the Predeterminants and saith, that the Will is free in that its Act is Volition; but that this Volition is necessitated by superior or natural Causes as much as any motion in a Clock or Watch, and that it is unconceivable that any Act or Mode of Act can be without a necessitating efficient cause. But he differs from them in his consequents, and in the Notion of a Spirit, acknowledging no being but Corporeal.

The Predeterminants commonly build not their doctrine on Gods free-will, but on the Necessity of the thing: As if it were a contradiction, which God cannot do, for God to make a creature that can Determine it self, ad ordinem actionis without his particular predetermining premotion; or to make a Stone that can fall from the Air of it self, unless he move it downwards, besides his sustentation of its natural gravity, and all other natures, by his Influx, or universal Concurse.
§. 3. But till they can prove the Contradiction, they must pass for the deniers of Gods Omnipotency, which is to deny a God.
