479. 2. We must not feign unnecessary Acts in God: But such Positive Nolitions of Nothings seem unnecessary: For Nothing will be nothing, without a Nolition, as well as with it: What need God Nill the Being of 1more Worlds, more Creatures, more Names, &c. when it is not possible that ever they should be, unless he positively will and make them. Yea, if (per impossible) there were no God, Nothing would be Nothing still. To feign or call for a Divine Nolition to keep Nothing from becoming something, is too presuming.

Erigena Scotus, Docuit u•icam tantummodo pradestinationem esse in Deo, qua electos ad aeternam foelicitat•m destinat: nullam outem ad aeternam esse damnationem. How near is this to the other Joh. Scotus Duns. See what Bishop Usher saith of this Scotus Erigena and Goteschalcus. Petavius saith, [Idem à Ca•olo Calvo unice dilectus erat.] See to this sense the Decrees Synodi Carisiacensis contra Gott•chaltum, in 1 Tom. Concil. Gallic. p. 66.Petavius Vol. 1. li. 9.
