“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.

“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.”
