First then if we take permission properly, as it is opposed, unto a natural, real, and Physical restraint, and denoteth a suspension thereof, D. Twice is so far from affirming, that they come to pass, upon Gods single, sole, and bare permission, as that he maketh Gods positive effection (whether by way of predetermination, or concurrence, he leaves to be discussed in another place) requisite unto the existence of them, without which they never can exist; for God is the principal and immediate 1cause of all beings and entities, and therefore of all natural actions.

- 1Actio Dei Physica sive naturalis ea est, quâ concurrit cum omnibus causis secundis ad actus suos, sive influendo duntaxat in actus ipsarum, quod placet Arminio, Jesuitarum vestigiis insistenti; sive movendo causas secundas ad agendum, quod nobis verisimilius videtur, quemadmodum & inter Pontificios Dominicanis, quae quidem controversia non est hujus loci, sed suo loco repetenda. Hujus concursus divini ratione, nobis videtur absurde dici rem aliquam ideo evenire quia Deus non impediat. Omnis enim res, omnis actus, omnis eneitas, ideo fit, quia Deus vult ut fiat, non permittendo sed efficiendo, idque principaliter. Etenim Deus est causa principalis, & immediata uniuscujusque entitatis, juxta omnes fere Scholasticos, Arminio etiam consentiente, pag. 177. Nec Arminianis, quod sciam, hactenus reluctantibus. Absurde autem dicitur, Deum permittere id fieri, quod facit ut fiat, idque principaliter ipsum efficiendo. Neque hic opus est recurrere ad permissionem, cum omnes in rebus naturalibus agnoscant, & amplectantur Dei efficientiam principalem & immediatam. Vind. lib. 2. pag. 131.
