upon_o they_o they_o all_o grant_v liberty_n and_o merit_n in_o such_o human_a action_n as_o have_v conformity_n to_o the_o dictamen_fw-la of_o conscience_n for_o in_o this_o consist_v the_o morality_n of_o our_o action_n that_o they_o be_v consonant_a or_o dissonant_n to_o the_o synderesis_fw-la of_o the_o agent_n but_o if_o a_o action_n be_v extort_a by_o a_o antecedent_n necessity_n there_o can_v be_v no_o exercise_n of_o freewill_n nor_o merit_n in_o it_o nor_o liberty_n because_o that_o power_n only_o have_v liberty_n which_o after_o all_o prae-requisites_a and_o cause_n be_v put_v have_v a_o power_n to_o work_v and_o not_o to_o work_v whereas_o if_o there_o be_v a_o prae-ordination_a by_o god_n decree_n that_o the_o member_n of_o a_o general-council_n shall_v be_v determine_v to_o truth_n than_o their_o decision_n be_v whole_o destitute_a of_o liberty_n and_o freewill_n because_o god_n efficatious_a decree_n that_o have_v a_o previous_a influence_n upon_o the_o action_n draw_v with_o it_o a_o indispensable_a necessity_n which_o destroy_v freewill_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v meritorious_a because_o merit_n suppose_v liberty_n and_o consist_v in_o the_o laudability_n of_o the_o action_n and_o how_o can_v that_o action_n be_v laudable_a which_o a_o fatal_a necessity_n force_v from_o the_o will_n can_v any_o one_o deserve_v praise_n for_o do_v that_o which_o he_o can_v avoid_v hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o merit_n and_o freewill_n be_v not_o compatible_a with_o that_o infallibility_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n pretend_v to_o which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o god_n providence_n in_o order_n to_o mankind_n who_o be_v create_v and_o bear_v free_a in_o full_a possession_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o his_o will_n and_o therefore_o shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o his_o own_o action_n which_o can_v not_o be_v be_v there_o any_o necessity_n or_o restraint_n put_v upon_o they_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o this_o doctrine_n invert_v the_o order_n of_o divine_a providence_n and_o impose_v a_o necessity_n either_o of_o contrariety_n or_o contradiction_n upon_o humane_a action_n a_o confirmation_n of_o this_o proof_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o practical_a proceed_n of_o council_n who_o seldom_o or_o never_o determine_v any_o thing_n till_o after_o a_o long_a and_o serious_a debate_n and_o sometime_o with_o great_a fervour_n and_o animosity_n of_o party_n in_o opposition_n to_o each_o other_o as_o it_o happen_v in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n upon_o contradictory_n point_n one_o party_n affirm_v what_o another_o deny_v all_o which_o suppose_v a_o liberty_n in_o their_o debate_n and_o determination_n for_o if_o by_o a_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o be_v all_o fix_v in_o truth_n what_o need_v any_o

have_v the_o immediate_a assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o when_o two_o be_v of_o different_a opinion_n the_o one_o deny_v what_o the_o other_o affirm_v and_o though_o they_o may_v both_o speak_v as_o they_o think_v yet_o in_o reality_n they_o can_v both_o speak_v truth_n for_o two_o contradictory_n can_v be_v both_o true_a must_v then_o the_o spirit_n of_o

that_o satan_n act_n in_o general_a council_n and_o that_o some_o of_o the_o member_n of_o council_n be_v not_o inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o consequent_o not_o infallible_a the_o second_o
