Did you mean able? Seems more likely. Probably esl.

Anyway I really enjoyed these tractates on Providence. Helps me alot in finally getting a clear picture of the free will determinism debate. This passage (III.3.5) I find really illustrative:
>The act of the libertine is not done by Providence or in accordance with Providence; neither is the action of the good done by Providence- it is done by the man- but it is done in accordance with Providence, for it is an act consonant with the Reason-Principle. Thus a patient following his treatment is himself an agent and yet is acting in accordance with the doctor's method inspired by the art concerned with the causes of health and sickness: what one does against the laws of health is one's act, but an act conflicting with the Providence of medicine.
Honestly I'm glad we did this bros.
