But God decreed nothing about free acts before foreseeing which way the will would incline in a given state
They maintain, however, that God decreed and settled nothing about men's free actions before he foresaw which way the human will would lean and determine itself if it were placed in this or that state of things.
Nor, they say, did God absolutely will that the will should produce these actions rather than those before he foreknew what each individual would do and will if this or that occasion for acting were put before him.
Latin
XXVI. Sed pertendunt Deum de liberis hominum actionibus nihil decrevisse & constituisse, ante quam praevideret in quam partem humana voluntas esset inclinatura, & sese determinatura, posito quod collocaretur in hoc aut illo rerum statu. Nec absolute Deum voluisse ut voluntas eadem has potius eliceret actiones quam illas, priusquam praescierit quid singuli homines acturi essent atque volituri, si tales vel tales agendi occasiones ipsis objicerentur.
