Neither doth any such decree in God, suppose a futurity of such a concurrence of causes, simply requisite and necessary, for the bringing ⟨p. 219⟩of things, so decreed, to pass, which will actually bring them to pass: though God hath decreed that a spark, or coal of fire, falling i. e. in case it shall fall, into a barrel of Gunpowder, shall fire it, yet it doth not follow from hence, that he hath decreed, that any such spark, or coal shall fall into it; without which notwithstanding the effect decreed, viz. the firing of this Powder will not come to pass.
NEither doth any such decree in God, suppose a futurity of such a concurrence of causes, simply requisite and necessary, for the bringing ⟨p. 219⟩of things, so decreed, to passe, which will actually bring them to passe: though God hath decreed that a sparke, or coale of fire, falling i. e. in case it shall fall, into a barrell of Gunpowder, shall fire it, yet it doth not follow from hence, that he hath decreed, that any such sparke, or coale shall fall into it; without which notwithstanding the effect decreed, viz. the firing of this Powder will not come to passe.
