^{page 24 note 2} Briefly, while God's ordained power (potentia ordinata) constituted God's dispensation for this world, His absolute power (potentia absoluta) denoted His omnipotence pure and simple, unconnected with space and time or this world. It could, therefore, as the source of all His authority, override His ordained power, and it was in this way that Ockham and his followers employed it.

^{page 25 note 1} These views are to be found in their Commentaries on the Sentences. For Ockham's views on grace see Bk. 1. dist. 17; for Holcot, Bk. 1. q. 1 and q. 4; for Buckingham, q. 6; for Woodham, Bk. 1. dist. 17. There are printed editions of Ockham's and Holcot's Commentaries (Lyons 1495, and Lyons 1518). But Buckingham and Woodham should be consulted in manuscript as neither of their printed editions is reliable.

^{page 25 note 2} See Holcot, Bk. ii. q. 2, Art. 8; Buckingham, q. 3; Woodham, Bk. iii. q. 2 and q. 3.

^{page 27 note 6} Bradwardine, throughout De Causa Dei, mentions Etienne Tempier's condemnation at Paris in 1277 of 219 theses associated with Aristotle. These appear to have formed a turning point in the attempt to associate God's actions on high with physical operations in this world; and, from Duns Scotus onwards, there is a return to the Augustinian emphasis upon the free direct nature of God's actions through His will, a view shared by Bradwardine.
