LAstly, That the will is inthralled irrecoverably unto sinne, appeareth, In the necessity of Grace, and of Christ as a Redeemer, if we were not in bondage, what need we have a Redeemer? Let not then the common expression in the
Schooles be liberum arbitrium, but liberatum, which is a phrase we seldome meet within them; It is good to know the full latitude of that glorious title of our Saviour, (viz.) a Redeemer; he is so called, not only, because he redee∣meth us from the curse of the law, and the guilt of sinne, but also because we were under the power and dominion of sinne and Satan, daily fulfilling the works of the flesh, so that his death was not only to obtain remission of sinnes, but to make us a peculiar people zealous of good works, Tit. 1. 14. And hence also he is said, to offer himself a sacrifice, that he might present to God, a Church without spot or wrinckle, Eph. 5. 27, which will be compleatly perfected in heaven. To set up free-will then, is to pull down our Redeemer, as much as we give to that, we deny to Christ, we make him but a half-Saviour, and an half-Redee∣mer, while we maintain, that we set our selves at liberty from the power of Satan: Oh then let the name of a Redeemer for ever make thee blush and asha∣med to speak of a free-will.
