Sect. 13.
What I have said of the Understanding, may be ap∣plyed to the Will; for the Understanding give's light to all the Will's actions; and the reasonable Will cannot pos∣sibly enjoy any thing without it: Therefore as the Understanding cannot in this world fully apprehend the infinite good, neither can the Will enjoy it; the Will joye's in nothing which is not present; and the Vnder∣standing is that onely arme which embraceth this infi∣nite good, and the onely hand which layeth hold of it to convey it to the Will; and therefore, because the Understanding cannot fully, and clearely, receive this infinite Goodnesse, neither Understanding, nor Will, neither of these most excellent faculties, can be per∣fected in this World.
Notes
The severall parts acted by the Under∣standing and the Will, both which facul∣ties are im∣perfect in this world.
