[696B–696C]
Chapter XXI.

He refutes the twelfth opinion, which holds that no lower things are made by God; and the thirteenth, which supposes that no voluntary or free things are made immediately and properly by him.

[696C–696D]
Two more opinions remain, similar to those already stated. The twelfth says that no lower things are made by God. The thirteenth imagines that no voluntary or free things are made by him, at least properly and immediately, and it argues by a similar reasoning: that in this way, and not otherwise, all things would come about of necessity. But these two can be rejected jointly by the arguments by which the earlier opinions similar to them are rejected, with the tenth of the first added.[n1] The third of the first also condemns those earlier opinions jointly.[n2] The second of these two, moreover, is condemned specifically by the twenty-second of the second, and all its sophistical evasions are blocked by the twenty-first of the same and the chapters that follow.[n3]

NOTES

1. "The tenth of the first," "the third of the first," "the twenty-second of the second," and similar expressions are Bradwardine's cross-references. I leave them unexpanded (Conventions §5.4). In the previous chapter (B3.c20) the same kind of reference occurs ("the twenty-seventh of the first," "the twenty-second of the second"). They appear to be chapters of Books 1 and 2 of this work. The "earlier opinions similar to these" are the tenth and eleventh, refuted in c20.
2. quas et coniunctim tertium primi damnat. The relative quas most naturally refers back to the earlier, similar opinions (the tenth and eleventh), and I translate it so. If it were meant to refer to the twelfth and thirteenth, the sense would not change much.
3. "The second of these two" (secunda istarum) is the thirteenth opinion, the one about voluntary and free things. The twelfth is passed over after the joint refutation.
