Your Major is, 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. Now how the consequence hereof is proved by this your proposition (I confess) passeth my skill. The readiest way to examine the consequence in a connexe Syllogism, is to reduce it unto a Categorical, and the way of that, every ordinary Logic will inform you is, by giving a reason of the consequence by a Categorical proposition, and placing it in the room of the Major in your Categorical Syllogism. Now take the proof that you bring of the consequence, or sequel of your major proposition, (for doubtless God hath decreed, and intendeth to leave natural causes generally, to their natural, and proper operations, and productions, yea and voluntary causes also, under a power, and at liberty, to act ten thousand times more then ever they will do or shall do) and let it be placed in the room of your major, and then in what Mood and Figure will you infer your conclusion, viz. Whatsoever God hath decreed, or intendeth 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.
YOur Major is, If whatsoever God hath decreed or intendeth to permit to come to passe, in any case, upon any termes, or any supposition whatsoever, should by vertue of such an intention or decree, necessarily come to passe, then all things possible to be, or at least ten thousand things more than ever shall be, must be, yea and this necessarily. Now how the consequence hereof is proved by this your proposition (I confesse) passeth my skill. The readiest way to examine the consequence in a connexe Syllogisme, is to reduce it unto a Categoricall, and the way of that, every ordinary Logick will informe you is, by giving a reason of the consequence by a Categoricall proposition, and placing it in the roome of the Major in your Categoricall Syllogisme. Now take the proofe that you bring of the consequence, or sequell of your major proposition, (for doubtlesse God hath decreed, and intendeth to leave naturall causes generally, to their naturall, and proper operations, and productions, yea and voluntary causes also, under a power, and at liberty, to act ten thousand times more then ever they will doe or shall doe) and let it be placed in the roome of your major, and then in what Moode and Figure will you inferre your conclusion, viz. Whatsoever God hath decreed, or intendeth to come to passe, in any case, upon any termes, or any supposition whatsoever, shall not by vertue of such an intention or decree necessarily come to passe.
