IN the question concerning free-will we distinguish between the power and strength of free-will, and the na∣ture of mans will. The nature we call, the naturall and essentiall pro∣pertie thereof created in it by God, that whatsoever it willeth, whether it be good or bad, it willeth freely, vo∣luntarily, willingly, and free-from all
manner of coaction. By the name of power we understand a power or fa∣cultie either innate, that is by na∣ture; or else conferred, that is of grace, by which we are enabled by our un∣derstanding to know, what is good, and what evil; and by our will to choose the good and refuse the evil.
