 Resolution expects the rules to have no outer quantifiers~($\Forall$).
 It may rename or instantiate any schematic variables, but leaves free
 variables unchanged.  When constructing a theory, Isabelle puts the
-rules into a standard form containing only schematic variables;

 When resolving two rules, the unknowns in the first rule are renamed, by
