2. His Will, which is the universal appetite of the whole man, 1which is like the supreme orb, that carrieth the inferior with the power of it, this was wonderfully good, furnished with several habits of goodness, as the firmament with stars: for in it was a propensity to all good, Ephes. 4. 24. It's called righteousness and true holiness: and Eccl. 7. 29. God made man upright: His Will was not bad, or not good, that is, indifferent; but very good. The imaginations of the thoughts of his heart were only good, and that continually. And certainly if David, Job. and others, who have this image restored in them but in part, do yet delight in Gods will, how much more must Adam, who when he would do good, found no evil present with him? He could not say as we must, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief: Lord, I love, help my want of love. He could not complain, as that man, Libenter bonus esse vellem, sed cogitationes meae non patiuntur.

And certainly if David, Job. and others, who have this image restored in them but in part, doe yet delight in Gods will, how much more must Adam, who when he would doe good, found no evil present with him? He could not say as we must, Lord, I beleeve, help my unbelief: Lord, I love, help my want of love. He could not complain, as that man, Libenter bonus esse vellem, sed cogitationes meae non patiuntur.
