Reply: God foresees obedience or defiance only as following his earnest warnings, which are means to obedience
Far from preventing God from earnestly warning, asking and exhorting human beings, their foreseen defiance or obedience is something God cannot foresee without first foreseeing, and resolving within himself, that he will deal with them earnestly in this way.
God's warnings, exhortations and pleas are the means by which human obedience is brought about. They are also presupposed conditions without which people cannot be, or be called, rebels against God and defiant toward him.
Latin
XX. Sed tantum abest ut praevisa hominum contumacia, vel obedientia obstet quominus Deus serio illos monere, rogare, & hortari possit: ut contra Deus illam non possit praevidere, quin prius praevideat, & apud se constituat se ita serio cum hominibus acturum. Nam divinae monitiones, hortationes, & obtestationes sunt media quibus procuratur hominum obedientia; & praesupposita quaedam, sine quibus Deo rebelles, & in ipsum contumaces esse & dici non possunt.
