V 1. But why are not all God's wishes
realized? Bec. [Because] the gratific. [gratification] of them
sometimes depends not solely on his will
– or if it did, would involve palp-
-able inconsistencies.

2. To secure the holiness of a moral
being, something depends on the creature = his
own free choice. To prevent sin – the
creature must decide against it as well
as God. If creature thwarts Gs. [God's] wishes
as he may – then t. [the] fault is not God's.

3. But is not G. [God] Omnipotent?
Can he not save all if he wishes?

repentance. Distinguish nat. [nature] & mor [moral] evil
physic [physical] & moral power or influence – –.

O. [Omnipotent] power to do all poss. [possible] things –.
