A treatise of original sin ... proving that it is

SECT. IV. The Defilement of the Will, in its Affections and Properties, or the sinful Adjuncts inseparably cleaving unto it. ⟨image 11⟩Rom. 9. 16. So then it is not of him that willeth, or of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. ¶. 1. This Scripture opened, vindicated and improved. ¶. 2.

SECT. V. Of the Natural Servitude and Bondage of the Will, with a brief Discussion of the Point of Free-will. John 8. 35. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. ¶. 2. The Text opened. ¶. 3. Of the several kinds of Freedom which the Scripture speaketh of. ¶. 4. The Names the Scripture expresseth that by, which we call Free-will. ¶. 5. Some observations concerning the Promoters of the Doctrine of Free-will; How unpleasing the contrary Doctrine is to flesh and blood, with some advice about it. ¶. 6. The first Demonstration of the slavery of the Will, is from the Necessity of sinning, that every man is plunged into. ¶. 7. That a Necessary Determination may arise several ways, some whereof are very consistent with liberty, yea the more necessary the more free. ¶. 8. The second Argument of its Bondage is, Its being carried out unto sin voluntarily, and with delight. ¶. 9. Thirdly, It is evident by its utter impotency to any thing that is spiritual. Here is showed, wherein that inability consists. ¶. 10. That man naturally loves his thraldom to sin, and contradicts the means of Deliverance. ¶. 11. Its Bondage is seen in its Concupiscential Affection to some creature or other, never being able to lift it self up to God.
