The promise of the Saints eternall blisse, and the wickeds per∣petuall torment. CHAP. 2.
FOr the Saints doe will many things that are inspired with his holy will, and yet are not done by him, as when they pray for any one, it is not hee that causeth this their praier, though he do produce this will of praier in them, by his holy spi∣rit. And therfore when the Saints do will, and pray according to God, wee may well say that God willeth it and yet worketh it not, as we say hee willeth that him-self, which he maketh others to wil. But according to his eternall wil, ioined with his fore-knowledge, therby did he create al that he pleased, in heauen and in earth, and hath wrought al things already, as well future as past or present. But when as the time of manifestation of any thing which God fore-knoweth to come, is not yet come, we say, It shal be when God wil: & if both the time be vncer∣taine, and the thing it selfe, then we say, It shall be if God will: not that God shall haue any other will as than, then hee had before, but because that shall bee then effected, which his eternall, vnchanging will, had from al eternity ordained.
