all_o the_o university_n in_o christendom_n be_v no_o match_n to_o dispute_v with_o you_o but_o to_o insist_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o examination_n of_o this_o interpolation_n 1._o you_o seem_v to_o make_v equivalent_a these_o two_o proposition_n inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v a_o inherent_a principle_n of_o evil_n inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v a_o sin_n natural_a and_o necessary_a but_o i_o be_o utter_o unsatisfied_a touch_v this_o their_o equivalency_n and_o shall_v desire_v you_o to_o clear_v it_o up_o unto_o i_o nay_o further_o i_o very_o much_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o first_o proposition_n this_o inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v not_o as_o inherent_a principle_n of_o evil_n and_o shall_v entreat_v you_o to_o inform_v i_o whether_o you_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o evil_n or_o a_o inherent_a principle_n and_o think_v it_o only_o adherent_a circumstant_fw-la or_o the_o like_a but_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v tell_v i_o of_o some_o ellipsis_n in_o your_o word_n that_o i_o ought_v to_o understand_v and_o supply_v something_o to_o make_v out_o your_o sense_n what_o it_o be_v i_o will_v not_o adventure_v to_o guess_v at_o but_o leave_v it_o to_o you_o to_o express_v it_o yourself_o second_o the_o conclusion_n that_o be_v confirm_v by_o your_o second_o reason_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o which_o be_v prove_v by_o your_o first_o reason_n and_o that_o be_v that_o inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v no_o sin_n without_o the_o additional_a epithet_n of_o natural_a and_o necessary_a it_o be_v no_o sin_n say_v you_o proper_o because_o that_o which_o be_v unavoidable_a be_v no_o sin_n and_o indeed_o the_o unavoidableness_n of_o our_o inclination_n to_o evil_n may_v be_v a_o probable_a argument_n that_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n and_o require_v a_o answer_n but_o no_o competent_a reason_n at_o all_o to_o prove_v it_o not_o to_o be_v natural_a and_o necessary_a but_o see_v you_o say_v it_o must_v be_v your_o meaning_n that_o these_o epithet_n shall_v be_v interpose_v we_o will_v for_o once_o suppose_v it_o for_o disputation_n sake_n and_o see_v whether_o we_o can_v understand_v by_o any_o mean_n what_o you_o will_v have_v 1._o you_o say_v your_o meaning_n in_o your_o conclusion_n be_v that_o inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v no_o sin_n viz._n of_o nature_n which_o i_o shall_v consider_v anon_o when_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o examine_v that_o subtlety_n of_o you_o that_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o subject_v in_o our_o common_a nature_n 2._o let_v we_o inquire_v what_o you_o mean_v by_o natural_a and_o necessary_a 1._o what_o you_o mean_v by_o natural_a there_o be_v divers_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n natural_a which_o be_v impertinent_a to_o our_o present_a discourse_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v omit_v they_o i_o suppose_v that_o you_o take_v natural_a either_o for_o that_o which_o be_v so_o term_v in_o regard_n of_o connexion_n with_o our_o nature_n or_o else_o in_o respect_n of_o physical_a and_o necessary_a resultancy_n from_o our_o nature_n if_o you_o take_v it_o for_o that_o which_o be_v so_o term_v in_o regard_n of_o connexion_n with_o our_o nature_n which_o be_v coeval_fw-fr with_o our_o nature_n derive_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o nativity_n and_o conception_n of_o our_o nature_n than_o your_o second_o reason_n be_v tautological_a a_o most_o pitiful_a and_o miserable_a beg_n of_o the_o question_n for_o you_o tell_v we_o afterward_o that_o by_o essential_a you_o mean_v that_o which_o be_v not_o after_o our_o nature_n but_o together_o with_o it_o in_o real_a be_v and_o then_o there_o will_v be_v no_o more_o difference_n betwixt_o essential_a and_o natural_a in_o this_o acception_n of_o it_o than_o there_o be_v betwixt_o ensis_fw-la and_o gladius_fw-la and_o so_o your_o argument_n explain_v will_v stand_v thus_o inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v not_o connex_v with_o our_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v not_o connex_v with_o our_o nature_n it_o be_v not_o coeval_fw-fr with_o our_o

you_o take_v natural_a in_o regard_n of_o necessary_a resultancy_n from_o our_o nature_n then_o your_o argument_n be_v impertinent_a and_o concern_v not_o those_o who_o you_o oppose_v for_o they_o

my_o mistake_n by_o explication_n of_o your_o meaning_n for_o i_o have_v do_v my_o best_a to_o bolt_n it_o out_o and_o must_v needs_o profess_v that_o i_o can_v guess_v at_o any_o other_o

it_o i_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o examine_v it_o but_o to_o proceed_v unto_o the_o next_o epithet_n necessary_a when_o you_o say_v that_o a_o inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v not_o proper_o a_o sin_n your_o meaning_n be_v you_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o necessary_a sin_n but_o then_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v how_o your_o first_o reason_n will_v be_v suit_v unto_o this_o conclusion_n for_o your_o first_o reason_n stand_v thus_o because_o that_o which_o be_v unavoidable_a be_v not_o sin_n and_o i_o will_v entreat_v you_o also_o to_o inform_v we_o what_o be_v the_o difference_n here_o betwixt_o necessary_a and_o unavoidable_a for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n i_o shall_v shrewd_o suspect_v your_o argument_n sick_a of_o that_o infirmity_n call_v petitio_fw-la principii_fw-la but_o perhaps_o we_o must_v here_o make_v the_o like_a supply_n and_o understand_v you_o thus_o because_o that_o which_o be_v unavoidable_a be_v not_o a_o necessary_a sin_n if_o so_o your_o argument_n reduce_v unto_o form_n will_v run_v thus_o nothing_o that_o be_v unavoidable_a can_v be_v a_o necessary_a sin_n but_o a_o inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v unavoidable_a therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o necessary_a sin_n unto_o your_o major_n i_o say_v that_o though_o unavoidableness_n in_o one_o sense_n may_v carry_v a_o repugnancy_n unto_o sin_n yet_o not_o to_o necessary_a it_o may_v prove_v a_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n but_o it_o make_v nothing_o against_o its_o be_v necessary_a for_o that_o which_o be_v unavoidable_a may_v be_v and_o be_v necessary_a it_o be_v probable_a therefore_o that_o necessary_a be_v never_o in_o your_o first_o thought_n but_o put_v in_o to_o secure_v your_o second_o reason_n from_o my_o objection_n against_o it_o however_o yet_o i_o shall_v

consequent_a and_o contract_a necessity_n but_o our_o inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v accidental_a therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o necessary_a sin_n in_o respect_n of_o a_o consequent_a and_o
