N this Zumber he moula prove thatthere must be Free A-
acents, and Contingent Acents; as mell as Necessary Agents+
fromthe Order, Beauty, and Perfection of ihe worid. Lchat
thought that ibe Order. Beamy, ond Perfection oftheroridre-
quired that which mas in therorid, and not that mhich the
Bictrop bad necd of for his Arcument, conld sce no forceos con-
seguence to inferre that mhich he caus Frce and Contincent.
That which is in the Worid is theorder, Bcauty, and Perfecti-
on nhich Cod hath eiven the orid; and yet there are no 
sents intheworid, butsuch asworkascen Necessiy, or an un-
seen Necessicy; and whenthey morke an meseen Necesserr in orea
rures inanimare, thenare those creatures said tobe rmroneht
upon contingenty, and eo vorte Contincently. And ihen tbe
Nocessiry unseen is of the actions of men, ihen it is commonti
salled Free, andmishe beso in other livine creatures; for Free
and Voluntarz are the same tbine. But che Bictroo inhis Re-
plus harhinsistea mest upon this, that I male Et a contradictionto
Saythat le chac makerh a chins, doch noc make it necessary.

andyet withinemo or three lines after fonna it mieht be; and
therefore ro clear the marter he sayes that such NeceCCy is not
Ancecedent, but a Hecessicy otsuppolicion; which never-
thclessis the same lind of Xecessiu hichhe actribureth tothe
burnins of the fire, nhere there is a necessiy that the thine
thromnintoit siall beburned, thonch pet it be but burnine, or
but departine fremthe hand that thromes it in; andtherefore
the Necessity is Antecedent. The lihe is in maline a Carment;
ihe Necessity beginsfrom the first motien iomards it, which is
from Pternity, thonch ehe Taylor andehe Bistrop arc equally
ansensible ofit. TFihey Camthe mhole order and conjunction of
Causes, tbey moula say it vere as Tecessary as any thine else
can possibly bc; and therefore Cod that seesthat order and con-
junction lnomes it is necessary.
The rest of his Reply is toareue a contradiction in me; for
besayes.
