Only after this foresight did God decree to create, to arrange the occasions, and to concur; absolute foreknowledge follows the decree
God thus foresaw and considered what would happen if men and angels were placed in these or those circumstances and prompted to act by these or those objects, what good he could bring out of it, and how he could direct these things or those to the display of his glory. Only then, I say, on these doctors' view, did God resolve to create men and angels in the state in which they were afterwards created.
He resolved also to arrange that these occasions for acting rather than others should be put before them, and to concur with them in the actions to which he foresaw their wills would determine themselves, provided he did not withhold his concurrence. Finally, this decree was followed by the absolute foreknowledge by which he foreknew that they would act in this way or that.
Latin
XXVIII. Postquam autem Deus sic praevidit & consideravit quid eventurum esset, si homines & angeli collocarentur in his vel illis circumstantiis, & his aut illis objectis ad agendum excitarentur, ac quid inde boni posset elicere, & quomodo haec vel illa ad manifestationem gloriae suae dirigere; tum demum, inquam, Deus, juxta Doctorum istorum sententiam, constituit homines & Angelos creare, in statu in quo postea creati sunt; & procurare ut istae potius quam aliae agendi occasiones iis proponerentur; atque cum iis concurrere ad actiones illas ad quas eorum voluntates, modo concursum suum iis non denegaret, praevidebat sese determinaturas: quod decretum tandem secuta est absoluta praescientia, qua praescivit eos hoc, vel illo modo acturos.
