a_o thing_n which_o we_o do_v not_o will_n before_o second_o when_o we_o leave_v to_o will_v that_o which_o we_o will_v before_o now_o show_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o and_o first_o why_o a_o man_n do_v will_n that_o which_o he_o will_v not_o before_o the_o cause_n of_o these_o be_v two_o first_o our_o ignorance_n because_o we_o do_v know_v that_o to_o be_v good_a afterward_o which_o we_o know_v not_o before_o to_o be_v good_a and_o then_o we_o will_v that_o which_o we_o can_v not_o before_o for_o ignoti_fw-la nulla_fw-la cupido_fw-la for_o of_o that_o which_o be_v unknown_a there_o be_v no_o desire_n the_o second_o cause_n arise_v from_o the_o alteration_n of_o nature_n as_o if_o that_o which_o be_v hurtful_a to_o we_o at_o one_o time_n become_v profitable_a to_o we_o at_o another_o time_n than_o we_o will_v have_v that_o at_o one_o time_n which_o we_o will_v not_o another_o as_o for_o example_n in_o summer_n our_o will_n be_v incline_v to_o cold_a place_n but_o in_o winter_n our_o will_n be_v alter_v and_o do_v affect_v and_o desire_v the_o warm_a whether_o be_v there_o any_o such_o cause_n in_o god_n to_o make_v he_o change_v his_o will_n or_o not_o no_o neither_o of_o these_o cause_n can_v be_v in_o god_n not_o the_o first_o for_o he_o do_v most_o perfect_o know_v all_o thing_n from_o all_o eternity_n not_o the_o second_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o god_n for_o which_o any_o thing_n may_v be_v find_v to_o be_v profitable_a or_o hurtful_a he_o be_v always_o the_o same_o have_v need_n of_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o he_o can_v will_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v new_a to_o he_o and_o consequent_o his_o will_n be_v not_o changeable_a but_o what_o say_v you_o to_o the_o second_o way_n of_o change_v our_o will_n that_o be_v of_o leave_v to_o will_n that_o which_o before_o we_o have_v determine_v whereof_o come_v that_o for_o this_o there_o may_v be_v yield_v two_o reason_n 1._o we_o do_v change_v our_o will_n of_o our_o own_o accord_n because_o the_o latter_a thing_n do_v seem_v to_o we_o to_o be_v better_a than_o the_o former_a 2._o be_v constrain_v or_o against_o our_o mind_n we_o do_v oftentimes_o change_v our_o will_n because_o
