And he nothing differs from Aquinas his doctrine, where he maintains that God's will imposeth no necessity upon the creatures will; because he ordains both necessary things come to pass, necessarily, and contingent things, contingently, that is with a possibility to the contrary; & likewise free actions freely, that is with a free active power in the Agent to do otherwise. But come we to the consideration of the passages produced out of the Ancients. For I presume they are the choicest. For though he feared to be overlong, and therefore could not exhibit all; yet therefore it behooved him to represent the best. And I believe he could produce more of this nature. For I have been an eye witness of it under his hand now four years ago. And though he produce them not, I hope to do it for him ere we part, to show how little I fear his concealments, and somewhat of the Predestinarians also, being glad of such an opportunity to discover the wildness and precipitation of his judgment touching that which is called the predestinarian heresy here touched by him.
