of_o man_n or_o man_n will_n be_v one_o of_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n the_o soul_n as_o i_o conceive_v may_v be_v comprehend_v in_o these_o three_o head_n viz._n 1._o the_o

all_o which_o may_v be_v call_v reason_n 2._o the_o will_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v his_o bent_n and_o inclination_n lead_v to_o elect_v and_o choose_v or_o to_o reject_v and_o refuse_v with_o

etc._n which_o in_o a_o right_a temper_a soul_n follow_v the_o verdict_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o so_o the_o choice_n or_o rejection_n of_o the_o will_n but_o if_o the_o appetite_n and_o

23._o so_o that_o without_o these_o three_o there_o be_v not_o as_o i_o conceive_v a_o whole_a soul_n the_o will_n be_v as_o i_o conceive_v the_o middle_a part_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o understanding_n and_o to_o govern_v the_o affection_n that_o all_o may_v agree_v in_o one_o now_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o will_n be_v that_o liberty_n and_o freeness_n it_o have_v in_o itself_o above_o any_o discovery_n object_n and_o proffer_n to_o incline_v to_o or_o from_o to_o choose_v or_o reject_v according_a to_o what_o the_o understanding_n discern_v good_a or_o bad_a without_o any_o

approve_a or_o disaprove_v by_o the_o judgement_n do_v move_v and_o so_o far_o be_v the_o will_v free_v end_v and_o so_o the_o heart_n and_o mind_n make_v free_a and_o willing_a and_o such_o a_o free_a ready_a &_o unconstrained_a will_n or_o willingness_n be_v free_a will_v indeed_o and_o so_o far_o the_o will_n be_v free_a in_o itself_o and_o so_o account_v in_o scripture-language_n also_o

that_o the_o will_n may_v be_v free_a and_o free_o willing_a when_o yet_o there_o be_v not_o power_n to_o do_v or_o attain_v that_o which_o be_v will_v matth._n 26.41_o joh._n 21.18_o rom._n 7.18_o

consideration_n we_o have_v several_a thing_n to_o acknowledge_v about_o the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o the_o freedom_n of_o it_o 1._o in_o the_o first_o consideration_n we_o find_v god_n make_v man_n
