   • 820 CE, 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 aliquid de 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 things afresh [as a new desire], since, whatever God has wanted, He has wanted it for all eternity.

     Sed quamvis in tanta simus audacter et improvide tempestatis unda prolapsi, de novo tamen amore cogitare non possumus vel alium liberationis modum exquirere.
