Being so taught by these words of the Apostle, and other testimonies of the holy scriptures, we confess that regenerate men are so wrought by the holy ghost, that they themselves do likewise work: and God so worketh in them to will and to perform, that they are the same, which do will and do perform. For, they are not blocks, nor beasts, but ⟨p. 160⟩men endued with reason, whereby they understand, and with a will, whereby they desire, and whereby they command over the other powers of the soul & body, that such things as are good should be put in execution
