1. His Resolution. I will.
V•lo, est vox aut pertinacis, aut potent is; non petent is. I will, is the voice, (not of a beggar, but) either of one powerful or peremptory. Good in the Almighty, saucy in a subordinate power; without some reservation, or exception made to the supreme providence. Will you Satan! It is too bold, and presumptuous a voice. Ask leave, Satan: for you are chained to your clog, and cannot stir, but limitata potestate. Behemoth is tied in a tether; and that triumphant Lamb holds the roaring Lyon in an infrangible cord: and says to him, as to the sea; Here will I stay the insultation of thy proud waves. 1Will you know, what makes the devil thus bold? A double confidence, 1. in his own strength. 2. in mans weakness.
