315. VI. *Gods Natural Volitions are those which ex natura rei, could not be otherwise; that is, All his Volitions of his own being and perfections; To which some number natural necessary objects, in the creatures: As his Volition that Contradictions shall not be true; that two and two shall be four, or two more than one, &c. His Free Volitions are those which might have been otherwise as to the nature of the thing, and as to the ⟨p. 51⟩power of the Divine will. Such is the Volition of the being of all the Creatures.
- *How far Gods Volitions of creatures are free, the subtlest confess to be unsearchable. Vasquez (ut supra) in 1. Thom. q. 19. disp. 80. p. 504. [Licet assignemus in Deo libertatem comparatione facta cum objectis & rebus creatis, tamen non assignamus sufficientem rationem ex parte Dei cur nunc actu libero efficaci reseratur ad has potius quam ad illas; Siquidem Idem omnino manens in s•, poterat eas non velle quas vult: Quare cum rem exactius enodare contendimus, difficultatem praedi •am e•adere n•• possumus.] See more of him before.How far Gods Volitions of creatures are free, the subtilest confess to be unsearchable.
