The last sort of arguments which I shall mention, are drawn from Gods actual providence or efficiency. God is the cause of all things, of him (saith the Apostle) are all things, Rom. 11. 36. Now he is the cause of all things by his knowledge, and by his will.

Artisex autem suae artis cognitione etiam ea quae nondum sunt artificiara cognoscir, •orm• enim artis ex ejus scientiá efiluunt in exteriorem materiam ad artificiatorum constiturionem: unde nihil prohibet in scientia artificis esse formas quae nondum exterius prodierunt: sic igitur nihil prohibet, Deum, corum quae non sunt, notitiam habere. lib. 1. contra gentes cap. 66. Deus est causa omnium rerum & futurorum contingentium, & liberorum (saith Cumel) in primam partem Sum. Q. 14. Art. 13. Disp. 1. Per suam scientiam practicam, ergo prius scit & cognoscit futura couringentia & libera quam producantur & fiant; sicut artisex prius haber ideam artificiati & cognoscit rem producendam & eiciendam, quam efficiat & producat posea ad extra in tempore; igitur Deus qui artifex est universorum futurorum contingentium prius cognoscit futura contingentia, quam illa in tempore fiant.
