467. The truth seemeth to me, that as Davenant saith, Scotus was the first artifex of this ordering of various Acts in the mind of God: So here he saith too much, and is too bold, and feigneth a subsequent Volition of a former non-volition without cause or proof, merely to scape the censure which yet he now incurreth, of making God too little active.

468. So far was Scotus from being the first Author of this Opinion, of a Negatio volendi peccatum in God, that their common Master Lombard 1most expressly asserteth it, and that more plainly and soundly than these over-subtle men. Upon which his Commentators copiously dispute An in Deo p•ssit esse pur• omissio absque volition & nolitione positiva? of which besides the Scotists and Nominals, you may see Aquin. 16. a. 2.

Durandus distinguisheth of contra & praeter Voluntatem, and saith that Voluntas etiam beneplaciti antecedens, quae est solum quaedam Velleitas, may be such as many things are praeter & contra eam. But Voluntas beneplaciti consequens is such as nothing is contra eam, but sin is praeter eam; etiam mala fieri. Neque enim vult fieri, nec vult non fieri. I like not what he addeth: Idem forte diceret aliquis de quibusdam bonis quae fiunt merè à libero arbitrio, sed non de omnibus, viz. quae fiunt à praedestinatis, &c.
