didetur dici posse: cartum et infallibile

apparens; neque ullum causur exemplum contrurium

id ex duobus eligat quod optimum apparet quia Mens non ab externo determinatur, sed

quomodo Deus praesciat quae sint futura con-

ut in motu constituatur Et in hac
potentia seipsam determinandi ad agendum
consistit natura libertatis.
Deus praevidebat Adamum esse peccaturum
si in ee quae tentationem i pomi
incideret, cur ergo non mutavit rerum seriem.
Respondeo quia Deus sciebat hanc rerum
seriem alia fore perfectiorem, ideo non
mutavis. At dices voluit ergo ut Adam
peccadet. Respondeo negando consequentiam.
At voluit ea ex quibus sequetatur sequi

non enim sequibatur aadamum etectu peccaturum
quia libere pecceavit. Illud tamen verum
est voluisse ea quibus positis certum erat
Adamum esse peccaturum. Hoc negam
non potest. Ergo voluit Adamum peccare
