Now, as by the fal, man ceased not to be man, endued with will and vnderstanding, and sinne that overspread all man∣kinde, abolished not the nature of mankinde, but depraved it only, and killed it spiritually: So this divine Grace of Rege∣neration worketh not in men, as in logs, or stockes of trees, neither doth it take away the will and its properties, nor force or constraine it against its owne liking, but spiritually enliue∣neth, healeth, correcteth and boweth it, no lesse sweetly, then mightily, to the end that where formerly the rebellion & re∣sistance of the flesh did wholy domineere, now the prompt and sincere obedience of the spirit may begin there to raigne; in which very point, the true and spiritual reestablishment & freedome of our will consisteth. And were it not that this admirable Worker of all good, did ply vs in maner aforesaid, there were no hope left vnto man, that he should raise him∣selfe out of the fall by free will, by which, when he stood vp∣right, he threw himselfe headlong into perdition.
