The same author saith; It is grace which preserveth, and free will which is preserved. By what means? It taketh health willingly, that is, it assenteth, it consenteth: but he saith not that it consenteth of it self, nay rather he allegeth the place of Paul; 1that We cannot of our selves think a good thought, much less give our consent thereto: And; 2God worketh in us to will and to perform. God (saith he) without us, setteth before us good cogitations, by preventing us; afterward he changeth the will: he changeth (saith he) the affection, that the same being changed, the consent may follow. Wherefore he saith; that God doth four things in us; first, he stirreth up, by sending in good cogitations; secondly, he healeth, that is, he changeth the will; thirdly he confirmeth, that is, he leadeth to the act; fourthly, he preserveth, that we may not feel the want, that we may persevere, and that the good work may be accomplished.

God (saith he) without vs, setteth before vs good cogitations, by preuenting vs; afterward he changeth the will: he changeth (saith he) the affection, that the same being changed, the consent may followe. Wherfore he saith; that God dooth foure things in vs; first, he stirreth vp, by sending in good cogitations; secondlie, he healeth, that is, he changeth the will; thirdlie he confirmeth, that is, he leadeth to the act; fourthlie, he preserueth, that we may not féele the want, that we may perseuere, and that the good worke may be accomplished.
