And lib. 2. c. 10. see what he saith of Angels and adoration of them. And c. 11. of Angels offices, and their being virtually every where. And what he saith of Kings, and Matrimony (quod excedit alia Sacramenta, &c.) li. 4. c. 19, 20. fol. 132, 133. Nor would I say that omnia quae eveniunt de necessitate eveniunt, as fol. 120. a.

One of the worst things I like in Wycliffe is, that he plungeth himself into the deepest School-subtleties, or difficulties, with less subtlety or diligence than the case requireth, and than Schoolmen use. And indeed I like not divers of his conclusions; as lib. 2. c. 14. fol. 41. [Quod Deus necessitat creaturas singulas activas ad quemlibet actum suum:] It is supposed that Hobbs by the same Doctrine overthroweth all the Christian faith: And I believe that his doctrine there fol. 41. and elsewhere, for merit, and how temporal sit causa praedestinationis aeternae, will displease some. And his distinction of Mortal and Venial sin, as li. 3. c. 5. fol. 52. And that he maketh final impenitence the sin against the Holy Ghost; And that none can know what sin is mortal in us, and what not? And cap. 6. Concedi potest quod multi praesciti sunt in gratia secundum praesentem justitiam: It may be granted that many reprobates are in (a state of) Grace, according to their present righteousness — Praesciti autem nunquam sunt in gratia finalis perseverantiae: The Reprobate are never in the grace of final perseverance. So that he held that present true grace ⟨p. 372⟩was lost by some, as Austin did, which he explaineth cap. 7. And cap. 8. again he is at his Omnia eveniunt necessitate absoluta reviewing what he had said, and concludeth that [no man can do better than he doth; but he could if God would] and denieth not sin to be hereby necessitated, &c.
