'God can will nothing that is opposed to the necessary love which he has
for his wisdom.
'Now the salvation of all men is opposed to the necessary love which God
has for his wisdom.
'Therefore God cannot will the salvation of all men.'
The major is self-evident, for one can do nothing whereof the opposite is
necessary. But the minor cannot be accepted, for, albeit God loves his
wisdom of necessity, the actions whereto his wisdom prompts him cannot but
be free, and the objects whereto his wisdom does not prompt him do not
cease to be possible. Moreover, his wisdom has prompted him to will the
salvation of all men, but not by a consequent and decretory will. Yet this
consequent will, being only a result of free antecedent acts of will,
cannot fail to be free also.
