Now I heartily wish I had a ground for so much charity towards him, as to suppose him ignorant that immediate concourse, and determinative, are not wont to be used by the Schoolmen, in this controversy, as terms of the same signification. If he do, himself, think them to be all one, what warrant is that to him to give the same for my sense? When 'tis so well known they are not commonly so taken, and that determinative concourse is so voluminously written against, where immediate is expressly asserted. Let ⟨p. 21⟩him but soberly tell me, what his design was, to dash out the word [determining] from what he recites Of that Letter, and put in [immediate]. Which he knows is not to be found in any of the places he refers to in it. Or what was the spring of that confidence that made him intimate the Scotists, Thomists, The Jesuits, and particularly Suarez, to be against what is said in the Letter, in this thing? If he could procure all the Books in the World to be burnt, besides those in his own Library, he would yet have an hard task to make it be believed in the next Age, that all these were for God's efficacious determination of the Wills of men unto wicked actions.
