Deus cur o perfectissimum eligat, nulla
potest reddi ratio, quam quia Vult, seu quia
prima
haec est natura voluntag divina, perfectissimum
eligere. Id est non ex rebus ipsis hoc sequitur
sed pure ex eo quod DEus vult. Et libere
utique vult, quia extra voluntatem ejus nulla
recdi potest ratio cur velit. Liberum enim
definio, cujus nulla ratio reddi potest alia, quam
voluntas, non igitur datur aliquid sine ration
 sed ratio illa voluntati intrinseca es
Et in hoc consistit vera natura spontanei, ut
ipsum sit principium non externum. In omni
itaque mente est libertas aliqua, et concurritus
Deus ad mentis actionem non ad primum actum
mentis constituendum, alioqui non Mens ageret
sed ipse solus.
curument linat Mens nostra habe
indifferentiam, quia respectu rationum. seu nulla
este
ratiotam valida in hac nita, quae mentem
satis penetret, ut non facile ab ea consideranda
verti possit, eaque eaque aversione posita
semper potert dubitare quia non
meminit perfecte meminit demonstrationis
At impetrala visione bealifica non potest
ab ea avelli, aut de his quae videt dubitare
potestne demonstrari haec propositio ex
natura Dei, quod Deus oligit perfectissimum
Dico posse demonstrari cognita eius voluntare
sed potestne demonstrari quod talem habeat
voluntatem rego esse demonstrabile, a priori, s
esse propositionem primam seu identicam
