will_n of_o god_n purpose_n or_o his_o internal_a will_n and_o the_o will_n of_o his_o precept_n and_o command_n do_v real_o differ_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v thus_o prove_v 1._o the_o will_n of_o god_n purpose_n or_o his_o internal_a will_n be_v eternal_a all_o his_o decree_n be_v from_o everlasting_a but_o his_o command_n be_v give_v forth_o in_o time_n the_o command_n belong_v both_o to_o the_o moral_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v not_o give_v out_o till_o the_o world_n be_v above_o two_o thousand_o year_n old_a and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o the_o prophet_n

the_o counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n stand_v for_o ever_o and_o his_o thought_n to_o all_o generation_n psal_n 33.11_o but_o his_o command_n be_v mutable_a as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n who_o receive_v a_o command_n to_o kill_v his_o son_n which_o afterward_o be_v reverse_v and_o in_o all_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n 3._o the_o will_n of_o his_o purpose_n

will_n of_o his_o purpose_n be_v always_o fulfil_v he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v but_o the_o will_n of_o his_o command_n be_v not_o so_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n even_o your_o

himself_o the_o will_n of_o his_o command_n be_v something_o proceed_v from_o himself_o so_o that_o these_o do_v as_o real_o differ_v as_o the_o creator_n and_o the_o creature_n the_o one_o be_v eternal_a immutable_a and_o irresistible_a the_o other_o temporary_a mutable_a resistible_a the_o command_n indeed_o by_o a_o metonymy_n be_v call_v the_o will_n of_o god_n because_o sometime_o not_o

hence_o that_o there_o be_v two_o will_n in_o god_n but_o only_o that_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o name_n which_o be_v very_o usual_a in_o scripture_n neither_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o one_o will_v of_o god_n be_v contrary_a to_o another_o for_o contraria_fw-la must_v be_v ad_fw-la idem_fw-la but_o these_o be_v not_o the_o same_o but_o do_v real_o differ_v as_o have_v be_v already_o prove_v true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v proper_o will_n to_o give_v forth_o such_o and_o such_o command_n but_o his_o will_n and_o purpose_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o his_o command_n another_o real_o differ_v from_o it_o thus_o much_o to_o show_v that_o god_n reveal_v will_n his_o precept_n and_o command_n be_v not_o proper_o his_o will_n 2._o

most_o certain_o be_v save_v needs_o no_o great_a proof_n for_o this_o will_n of_o his_o be_v a_o immutable_a irresistible_a omnipotent_a will_n it_o must_v needs_o take_v effect_n our_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v psal_n 115.3_o whatsoever_o please_v the_o lord_n that_o do_v he_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n psal_n 135.6_o there_o be_v two_o

internal_o will_n and_o desire_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n what_o shall_v hinder_v the_o effect_v it_o since_o his_o power_n be_v answerable_a to_o his_o will_n if_o man_n power_n be_v answerable_a to_o their_o will_n they_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o will_v it_o conditional_o 1._o this_o conditional_a will_n have_v be_v

able_a to_o work_v the_o condition_n to_o work_v effectual_a faith_n true_a repentance_n and_o other_o grace_n in_o all_o as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v in_o some_o but_o that_o that_o place_n in_o

cross_v other_o scripture_n for_o here_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v no_o delight_n in_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o elsewhere_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o will_v rejoice_v over_o wicked_a man_n to_o destroy_v they_o and_o root_v they_o out_o deut._n 28.63_o and_o he_o will_v laugh_v at_o their_o calamity_n and_o mock_v when_o their_o fear_n come_v prov._n 1.25_o which_o

as_o his_o mercy_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v well_o please_v not_o only_o with_o the_o work_n of_o his_o mercy_n but_o of_o his_o justice_n for_o all_o his_o work_n be_v well_o please_v to_o he_o 3._o

if_o a_o desire_n of_o all_o man_n salvation_n be_v proper_o in_o god_n than_o it_o be_v perpetual_o in_o he_o then_o when_o wicked_a man_n be_v damn_v in_o hell_n he_o still_o continue_v to_o

some_o kind_n of_o trouble_n and_o disquiet_v for_o it_o be_v a_o troublesome_a thing_n for_o one_o to_o have_v that_o perpetual_o withhold_v from_o he_o which_o he_o earnest_o desire_v these_o be_v

must_v be_v take_v proper_o without_o any_o figure_n to_o conclude_v there_o be_v this_o difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o will_n that_o god_n by_o his_o secret_a will_n and_o purpose_n determine_v
