I Proceed to the last Faculty of mens Soul, his Will. Which doth alone govern, moderate, and over-rule all his Actions. The Dignity whereof consisteth in three peculiar Perfections; Appetite, Liberty, Domination. The former respecteth an End; the two Latter, the Means thereunto conducing.1 The Desires are fixed on some Good throughly proportion to the wideness of the Heart: then the Liberty of the Will grounded on the Direction of the Judgement, makes choice of such Means, as are most proper for attaining of that Good: and lastly, the Dominion employs all inferior Faculties for the speedy Execution of those Means.
