1. The Ancients made no distinction between these two words (Necessity) and (Compulsion) but used them in this argument promiscuously; and did deny that God did necessitate men to sin, least they should grant him hereby to be the Author of sin, as I have touched before, and shall intimate again afterward. Nor did the School men put any difference between them, as may appear by the testimony of M. Calvin, who speaking of the School-distinction of the will's threefold liberty; from necessity, from sin, from Misery, saith, This distinction I could willingly receive, but that it confoundeth necessity with coaction.
