I answer, Gods accepts the will for the 1deed, only where the impediments, and hindrances are impossible to be removed: as, put the case a poor man would be liberal if he had it, God accepts the will for the deed, because he wants opportunity. But it never holds when a man can do it, God accepts not the will for the deed, when a man hath a price in his hand to get wisdom, and yet is a barren plant, and not a tree of righteousness; it is a sign of a naughty heart.
