for_o all_o this_o thief_z bents_z and_o propensity_n and_o inclination_n will_v not_o do_v the_o business_n the_o bare_a bend_n of_o the_o bow_n will_v not_o hit_v the_o mark_n without_o shoot_v the_o arrow_n and_o man_n be_v not_o call_v to_o will_n but_o to_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n but_o what_o then_o be_v it_o not_o as_o certain_a from_o the_o text_n that_o god_n sometime_o accept_v the_o will_n as_o it_o be_v from_o those_o forementioned_a scripture_n that_o god_n command_v the_o deed_n yes_o no_o doubt_n since_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o contradict_v that_o in_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o he_o have_v affirm_v in_o another_o in_o all_o the_o forego_n place_n do_v be_v express_o command_v and_o no_o happiness_n allow_v to_o any_o thing_n short_a of_o it_o and_o yet_o here_o god_n be_v say_v to_o accept_v of_o the_o will_n and_o can_v both_o these_o stand_v together_o without_o manifest_a contradiction_n that_o which_o enjoin_v the_o deed_n be_v certain_o god_n law_n and_o it_o be_v also_o as_o certain_a that_o the_o scripture_n that_o allow_v of_o the_o will_n be_v neither_o the_o abrogation_n nor_o derogation_n nor_o dispensation_n nor_o relaxation_n of_o that_o law_n in_o order_n to_o the_o clear_n of_o which_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o two_o assertion_n 1._o that_o every_o law_n of_o god_n command_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o whole_a man._n 2._o that_o the_o will_n be_v never_o accept_v by_o god_n but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o whole_a man._n so_o that_o the_o allowance_n or_o acceptance_n of_o the_o will_n mention_v in_o the_o text_n take_v off_o nothing_o from_o the_o obligation_n of_o those_o law_n in_o which_o the_o deed_n be_v so_o plain_o and_o positive_o enjoin_v but_o be_v only_o a_o interpretation_n or_o declaration_n of_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o those_o law_n show_v the_o equity_n of_o they_o which_o be_v as_o real_o essential_a to_o every_o law_n and_o give_v it_o its_o oblige_a force_n as_o much_o as_o the_o justice_n of_o it_o and_o indeed_o be_v not_o another_o or_o a_o distinct_a thing_n from_o the_o justice_n of_o it_o any_o more_o than_o a_o particular_a case_n be_v from_o a_o universal_a rule_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o will_v ever_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n for_o answer_v to_o which_o we_o be_v first_o to_o consider_v every_o man_n as_o a_o moral_a and_o consequent_o as_o a_o rational_a agent_n and_o then_o to_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o office_n and_o influence_n of_o the_o will_n in_o every_o moral_a action_n now_o the_o morality_n of_o a_o action_n be_v found_v in_o the_o freedom_n of_o that_o principle_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o

the_o will_n be_v endue_v with_o this_o freedom_n so_o be_v it_o also_o endue_v with_o a_o power_n to_o command_v all_o the_o other_o faculty_n both_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o execute_v what_o it_o have_v so_o will_v or_o decree_v and_o that_o without_o resistance_n so_o that_o upon_o the_o last_o dictate_v of_o the_o will_n for_o the_o do_v of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n all_o the_o other_o faculty_n proceed_v immediate_o to_o act_v according_a to_o their_o respective_a office_n by_o which_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o in_o point_n of_o action_n the_o will_n be_v virtual_o the_o whole_a man_n as_o contain_v in_o it_o all_o that_o which_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o other_o faculty_n he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v just_o as_o the_o spring_n of_o a_o watch_n be_v virtual_o the_o whole_a motion_n of_o the_o watch_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o impart_v a_o motion_n to_o all_o the_o wheel_n of_o it_o thus_o as_o to_o the_o soul_n if_o the_o will_n bid_v the_o understanding_n think_v

love_n joy_n or_o anger_n will_v follow_v and_o then_o for_o the_o body_n if_o the_o will_n bid_v the_o leg_n go_v it_o go_v if_o it_o bid_v the_o hand_n do_v this_o it_o do_v it_o so_o that_o a_o man_n be_v a_o moral_a agent_n only_o as_o he_o be_v endue_v with_o and_o act_n by_o a_o free_a and_o command_v principle_n of_o will._n and_o therefore_o when_o god_n say_v my_o son_n give_v i_o thy_o heart_n which_o there_o signify_v the_o will_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v command_v the_o service_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n for_o whatsoever_o the_o will_n command_v the_o whole_a man_n must_v do_v the_o empire_n or_o dominion_n of_o the_o will_n over_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o to_o most_o of_o the_o operation_n of_o each_o of_o they_o be_v absolute_o overrule_v and_o despotical_a from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o when_o the_o will_n have_v exert_v a_o act_n of_o command_n upon_o any_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o member_n of_o the_o body_n it_o have_v by_o so_o do_v do_v all_o that_o the_o whole_a man_n as_o a_o moral_a agent_n can_v do_v for_o the_o actual_a exercise_n or_o employment_n of_o such_o a_o faculty_n or_o
