And 2. It is certain that Christ himself was much displeased with sin on Earth, Mark 10. 14 & 3. 5. And surely he is not any less perfect, nor more reconciled to sin in Heaven. He was displeased with it, when he died for it: and is his will changed since to favour it? Yea, if you should say that [sin is nothing, and therefore no object of a Divine Act] of Nolition, or hatred, but God is said to will or hate it, only because he doth not will or love it, but punish it; yet the Church hath long ago Condemned the Monothelites as Heretics, and determined that Christ hath two Wills and Operations: And therefore as Man, his knowledge and will must have somewhat of Passivity, though not of Pain.

2. And it's strange that Christ is made our Captain, and manageth a War against Satan in the world, and Michael and his Angels are engaged in it, and yet have not the least displeasure against Sin and Satan.
