Thesis 2.7

Latin

Licet dei uoluntas consequens semper impleatur, non tamen necessitatem rebus uolitis generaliter imponit.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 11328

English

Even though God's consequent will is always accomplished, it does not thereby impose necessity across the board on the things willed.

'uoluntas consequens': God's will as it bears on the actual outcome, as opposed to his antecedent will. Sense checked against farmer1998:11383.
