Free creating cause must know its singular works
Each thing made by immediate free efficiency.
Counsel / will decree — not blind necessity.
A free judging cause knows its own work.
Latin XI. Nam cum Deus res singulas condiderit, & earum unicuique rei esse contulerit propria & immediata quadam efficientia, atque id non temere, neque naturali quadam necessitate, sed certo consilio & ex propriae voluntatis decreto, non potest illas ignorare. An enim causa libera, atque ex judicio agens proprium suum opus non intelliget, & percipere non poterit quod ipsa valet efficere?

About this text Le Blanc wrote in the mid-seventeenth century as Reformed professor at the Academy of Sedan. This is not a patristic work.
Louis Le Blanc, a Reformed professor at Sedan, sets out theology in theses argued against Rome: Scripture, faith, grace, free choice, good works and the saints.
This volume holds the Theses on Theology I–XLIII and On Faith I–XXII, in eighteen sections.
Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu (1614–1675) was minister and professor of theology at the Academy of Sedan, the Reformed school on France's eastern border. His Theses were disputed by students over many years and collected in a London folio (1675).
The Theological Theses range across the whole Reformed system — Scripture, God, predestination, grace, and justifying faith — in the crisp thesis-and-proof form of the seventeenth-century schools.
Date 1675 AD (Sedan theses; London collection)
No modern English.
