The Acts of the Will respecting the Means, are these: 1. An Act of Using or Employing the Practical Judgement. An Application and Exercising of it to consult & debate the proper means conducible unto that End. Which Consultation having passed, and by the practical Judgement, a ⟨p. 551⟩Representation being made of the Means discovered, there next followeth an embracing of those means, and inclining towards them with a double Act. The one an Act of Consent, whereby we approve the means dictated, as proper and possible: the other, an Act of Election, whereby, according to the different weight of Reasons, we adhere unto one Medium more than unto another, either as more proper, or as more feasible. Thirdly, because the Means do not bring us unto the End by being Chosen, but by being Executed. Hereupon followeth another Act of Mandate to all the Faculties interested in the Execution of those Means, to apply and put forth their forces with vigour and constancy, till the End be at the last by the due Execution of those Means attained and enjoyed.
