The external, transient, efficacious Motion of God upon ⟨p. 115⟩the Will, determineth the will with a real determination: the Will so moved, moveth it self with a real, and formal determination.
The Will in the sense of Composition (that is,1 considered as subordinate to the Decree and Efficiency of God) cannot but act in the instant of the determining Motion. The Will considered in the sense of division, (that is, as in it self, without its subordination to the Decree, and Efficiency of God) may act, or not act, in the instant of the determining Motion.
