On the Will

Latin Etymology

Quicquid autem est, efluit ab essencia Dei, et ipse scit illud a se effluere, et fluxus eius ab eo non displicet sibi sic ut aborreat illum, quoniam nichil horum odit. Complacet ergo sibi influxu eius ab ipso. Et hec disposicio potest concedi ut dicatur voluntas. Principium autem fluendi omne quod est ab ipso est ipsum scire modum ordinacionis in omni. Igitur sciencia eius est causa essendi scitum. Igitur eius voluntas est eius sciencia.
