MR GOODWIN.
But that the truth lieth on the other side of the way, appears by the light of this consideration, If whatsoever God hath decreed, or intendeth to permit to come to pass, in any case, upon any terms, or any supposition whatsoever, should by virtue of such an intention or decree necessarily come to pass, then all things possible to be; or at least, ten thousand things more, than ever shall be, must be, yea and this necessarily,

IF you supply the propositions that are wanting, and make this a complete Syllogism, it will be in secundo modo Syllogismi connexi, qui tollit consequens, ut tollat antecedens. And then your conclusion, if your Syllogism be true for form, will be, Therefore whatsoever God hath decreed, or intendeth to permit to come to pass in any case, upon any terms, or any supposition whatsoever, shall not by virtue of such an intention or decree necessarily come to pass. And then if in your Syllogism there be not committed that fallacy, which is called Ignoratio elenchi, never Syllogism framed in this world, was sick of this disease; for the conclusion you infer, is no-wise opposite unto any thing in D. Twice. Can you (dare you) say, that D. Twice any where affirmeth, that whatsoever God hath decreed, or intendeth to permit to come to pass, in any case upon any terms, or any supposition whatsoever, shall by virtue of such an intention or decree, necessarily come to pass? Consult all his books that are extant, whether in Latin or English; and if you can prove any such passage to be in them, either in express terms, or by just consequence, I will acknowledge that I have wronged you, in as shameful and public a manner as you will prescribe: and if you cannot make good, that D. Twice hath said any such thing, it will be very agreeable unto justice, that you make a retraction of your mistake.
