:718p. 62

Men indeed are not able to see to the utmost of things; they are not able to discover and fore-see all the inconveniences and evils that may arise: and therefore that being discovered after, which was not fore seen before, may be a ground to alter their affections, and change their thoughts, when fixed. The less Judgement and fore-sight in men, the more fickleness, and changeableness in men.

Men indeed are not able to see to the utmost of things; they are not able to discover and fore-see all the inconveniences and evils that may arise: and therefore that being discovered after, which was not fore seen before, may bee a ground to alter their affections, and change their thoughts, when fixed. The less Judgement and fore-sight in men, the more fickleness, and changeableness in men.

But now God hee fore-saw all. Hee fore-saw all that, which thou now thinkest is a ground for him to alter his mind to thee.
