better_o understand_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o what_o i_o have_v hitherto_o say_v of_o nature_n and_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v all_o equitable_a and_o moderate_a person_n concern_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o difficulty_n which_o disturb_v the_o mind_n of_o those_o only_o who_o judge_n of_o god_n by_o themselves_o for_o if_o we_o do_v faithful_o consult_v the_o idea_n of_o a_o

surprise_v or_o offend_v with_o god_n conduct_n and_o that_o instead_o of_o condemn_v or_o murmur_v at_o it_o man_n will_v not_o forbear_v to_o admire_v and_o adore_v it_o the_o three_o discourse_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o manner_n by_o which_o it_o act_v in_o we_o the_o first_o part._n of_o liberty_n i._o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o uncomely_a than_o the_o substance_n of_o spirit_n if_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o god_n for_o what_o be_v a_o mind_n without_o understanding_n and_o reason_n without_o motion_n and_o love_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o word_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v the_o universal_a reason_n of_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o love_n by_o which_o god_n love_v himself_o which_o give_v to_o the_o soul_n all_o the_o motion_n that_o it_o have_v towards_o happiness_n the_o mind_n can_v know_v the_o truth_n but_o by_o its_o natural_a and_o necessary_a union_n with_o truth_n its_o self_n it_o can_v be_v reasonable_a but_o by_o reason_n in_o short_a it_o can_v in_o some_o sense_n be_v a_o mind_n and_o understanding_n but_o because_o its_o substance_n be_v enlighten_v penetrate_v and_o perfect_v by_o the_o light_n of_o god_n himself_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o explain_v these_o truth_n idea_n book_n iii_o of_o the_o searchafter_n truth_n and_o in_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o idea_n as_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v

move_v not_o towards_o that_o which_o be_v good_a but_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o god_n carry_v it_o it_o be_v not_o will_n but_o by_o the_o motion_n which_o god_n continual_o imprint_n upon_o it_o it_o live_v not_o but_o by_o charity_n it_o will_v not_o but_o by_o the_o love_n of_o good_a which_o god_n impart_v unto_o it_o though_o it_o abuse_v it_o for_o in_o truth_n as_o god_n neither_o make_v nor_o preserve_v mind_n but_o for_o himself_o so_o he_o carry_v they_o towards_o himself_o as_o long_o as_o he_o preserve_v their_o be_v he_o communicate_v the_o love_n of_o happiness_n to_o they_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v capable_a now_o this_o natural_a and_o continual_a motion_n of_o the_o soul_n towards_o good_a in_o general_n towards_o good_a undetermined_a that_o be_v towards_o god_n be_v that_o which_o i_o here_o call_v the_o will_n because_o it_o be_v this_o motion_n which_o make_v the_o soul_n capable_a of_o love_v different_a good_n ii_o this_o natural_a motion_n of_o the_o soul_n towards_o good_a in_o general_n be_v invincible_a for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n to_o choose_v not_o to_o be_v happy_a we_o necessary_o love_v that_o we_o clear_o know_v and_o sensible_o feel_v to_o be_v the_o true_a good_a all_o mind_n love_v god_n by_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o nature_n and_o if_o they_o love_v any_o thing_n but_o god_n by_o the_o free_a choice_n of_o the_o will_n it_o be_v not_o because_o they_o do_v not_o seek_v after_o god_n or_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o happiness_n but_o because_o have_v a_o confuse_a sense_n that_o body_n about_o they_o

the_o whole_a capacity_n he_o have_v of_o love_v see_v there_o be_v a_o good_a which_o contain_v all_o other_o man_z may_v sacrifice_v to_o the_o love_n of_o this_o good_a all_o other_o love_n for_o god_n have_v make_v mind_n for_o himself_o he_o can_v engage_v they_o invincible_o to_o love_v any_o thing_n but_o himself_o or_o with_o relation_n to_o himself_o the_o inward_a sentiment_n which_o we_o have_v of_o ourselves_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o may_v for_o example_n refuse_v any_o fruit_n though_o we_o be_v incline_v to_o receive_v it_o now_o this_o power_n of_o love_a or_o not_o love_v

this_o power_n this_o non-invincibility_n be_v that_o which_o i_o call_v liberty_n thus_o by_o put_v the_o definition_n in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o thing_n define_v this_o expression_n our_o will_n be_v free_a signify_v that_o the_o natural_a motion_n of_o our_o soul_n towards_o good_a in_o general_n be_v not_o invincible_a in_o respect_n of_o any_o particular_a good_a we_o do_v also_o to_o this_o word_n free_a join_v the_o idea_n of_o voluntary_a but_o hereafter_o i_o shall_v take_v this_o word_n in_o the_o sense_n which_o i_o have_v observe_v because_o this_o be_v most_o natural_a and_o most_o ordinary_a iv_o the_o word_n good_a be_v equivocal_a it_o may_v signify_v either_o pleasure_n which_o make_v man_n formal_o happy_a or_o else_o the_o true_a or_o apparent_a cause_n of_o pleasure_n i_o shall_v in_o this_o discourse_n always_o take_v the_o word_n good_a in_o the_o second_o sense_n because_o in_o truth_n pleasure_n be_v imprint_v upon_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o end_n that_o she_o may_v love_v the_o cause_n of_o her_o happiness_n that_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o her_o love_n she_o may_v be_v carry_v towards_o it_o and_o be_v strait_o unite_v thereunto_o and_o so_o be_v continual_o happy_a when_o the_o soul_n love_v nothing_o but_o her_o pleasure_n she_o true_o love_v nothing_o but_o herself_o for_o pleasure_n be_v only_o a_o condition_n or_o modification_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o render_v she_o actual_o happy_a now_o since_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v to_o herself_o the_o cause_n of_o her_o happiness_n she_o be_v unjust_a she_o be_v ungrateful_a she_o be_v blind_a if_o she_o love_v her_o pleasure_n without_o pay_v that_o love_n and_o respect_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o true_a cause_n which_o produce_v it_o in_o she_o since_o there_o be_v none_o but_o god_n who_o can_v immediate_o and_o by_o himself_o act_v upon_o the_o soul_n and_o make_v she_o feel_v pleasure_n by_o the_o actual_a efficacy_n of_o his_o almighty_a will_n there_o be_v none_o

of_o good_n for_o i_o will_v not_o avoid_v the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o speak_v but_o as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a clear_o to_o express_v myself_o all_o the_o creature_n though_o good_a in_o themselves_o and_o perfect_a in_o respect_n of_o god_n design_n be_v not_o good_a in_o respect_n to_o we_o i_o mean_v they_o be_v not_o our_o good_a because_o they_o be_v not_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o our_o pleasure_n or_o our_o happiness_n v._o the_o natural_a motion_n which_o god_n continual_o imprint_n upon_o the_o soul_n to_o engage_v it_o to_o love_v he_o or_o to_o use_v a_o term_n
