And 6. Consider, that if it be never so much denied that God hath properly a conditional Will de rerum eventu, yet it is beyond all question ⟨p. 306⟩true, that he hath a conditional Will de debito, (officii, Praemii & Poenae) and so his Law is conditional most commonly. He hath constituted the Debitum praemii, the dueness of Salvation on condition of believing, loving and sincerely obeying Christ. And therefore they must not deny conditional promises and threatenings, though they deny conditional, decrees. This I add, because I know they here usually answer that God intendeth no end conditionally, but where he intendeth also the condition it self, that so it may be equivalent to absolute: But he intendeth as Legislator that Faith shall be the prescribed means to Glory, and Glory the end promised to all that perform that condition; and so conditionally giveth it.

7. Consider also that even in regard of Gods Will de Eventu, our Divines generally with the Schoolmen confess and maintain that God hath a conditional Will in this Sense.
