Translation of Tractatus de praedestinatione et de praescientia Die et de futuris contigentibus

Bibliography: pages 115-128

Are passive predestination and passive foreknowledge real relations in the person who is predestinate and foreknown? -- In respect of all future contingents does God have determinate, certain, infallible, immutable, necessary cognition of one part of a contradiction? -- How can the contingency of the will, both created and uncreated, be preserved in the case of its causing something external? That is, can the will, as naturally prior to the caused act, cause the opposite act at the same instant at which it causes that act, or can it at another, subsequent instant cause the opposite act or cease from that caused act? -- Is there a cause of predestination in the predestinate and a cause of reprobation in the reprobate? -- In view of the fact that the propositions 'Peter is predestinate' and 'Peter is reprobate' are opposites, why cannot the one succeed the other in truth?
