He believes that as in the case of man, where the necessity per aliud of the will does not conflict with the freedom, in the case of God, the eternal necessity of the will does not conflict with his freedom.

Firstly, his viewpoint aligns more harmoniously with our linguistic and moral intuitions. Secondly, there are sound justifications for distinguishing between necessity per aliud and eternal necessiity, in terms of determinism
