820CE, Pseudo-Bede,
Sententiae philosophicae collectae ex Aristotele atque Cicerone Ex Aristotele:
- Intelligitur sic a voluntate antiqua, id est, a Deo non procedit actio nova, id est, novum volitum, quia Deus non incipit aliquidde novo velle, quia quidquid Deus voluit, ab aeterno voluit.
- This way, it is understood that a new act, that is a new will, doesn't originate from old will, that is God, because God does not begin to want thingsafresh [as a new desire], since, whatever God has wanted, He has wanted it for all eternity.
- 1180-1190, Andreas Capellanus,De amore, Book II, vi
Sed quamvis in tanta simus audacter et improvide tempestatis unda prolapsi,de novo tamen amore cogitare non possumus vel alium liberationis modum exquirere.- (pleaseadd an English translation of this quotation)
