§. 7. When they say, that else God dependeth on the creature, and is determined by it, (as to his Concurse:) I answer, 1. How can Gods free upholding the power of a free agent, be his dependence on it, when it expressly speaketh its dependence on him, without whom it cannot be nor act? 2. No creature determineth Gods Immanent acts: nor his transient, as to the mere Impress and first effect; and so not Gods Act at all: unless Terminating be Determining. It is only its own Act which the creature determineth, which is a secondary effect of Gods act, as proceeding from the second cause. Gods Influx maketh all that Impress on the soul which God intendeth absolutely: But whether by that Impress the sinner will consent, the will determineth, and is the chief determiner in Evil.
