quasi vero quae cuius rei causa sit praescientiane futurorum necessitatis an futurorum necessitas providentiae laboretur, ac non illud demonstrare nitamur, quoquo modo sese habeat ordo causarum, necessarium esse eventum praescitarum rerum, etiam  si praescientia futuris rebus eveniendi necessitatem non videatur inferre.
as if indeed our work were to discover which is the cause of which, foreknowledge of future things necessity, or future things necessity of providence, and as if we were not striving to show this, that whatever the state of the ordering of causes, the outcome of things foreknown is necessary, even if that foreknowledge were not to seem to confer on future things the necessity of occurring.
