SECT. VI. Of the Limitations of Gods Operations on the Soul.
§. 1. That which sticks in the minds of many is, that God being Omnipotent, all his operations must be equally unresistible and efficacious; because none can conquer God: But they must consider, that though he be Almighty, yet he doth not all that he can do: nor do his works equally manifest his Omnipotency. And there are these causes, for Limiting his operations in the effects.

§. 2. 1. *The chief cause is his Wisdom and Free-will. It is his Will to do what he doth, and to do no more: which hath no cause.
