212. It is no true Power ad hoc, which is put to overcome a Greater opposing Power. We never had Power to overcome God, or to act against his pre-moving pre-determination (as Bradwardine truly saith.)
213. A man may be Able mediately to do that which he is not Able Immediately to do: I mean he that can write with a Pen, or move things with an Engine, and so act but as a partial, though Principal Cause, may not be Able to write without a Pen, nor to do the same alone as a Total Cause.

215. No man Doth all that he is truly and properly Able to do.
