First, That a wicked man sins with much freedom of spirit, or he sins freely. He conceives mischief. The conceptions of the mind cannot be forced, nor can the conceptions of the body; and therefore the Law resolves it, That there is no rape, where conception follows. These conceptions are the joint actings of the will and understanding, both concur in them. an unregenerate person is free to do evil, he needs not be forced to it, he cannot be forced from it; and every evil is the more evil, by how much the more freely it is done. The more voluntarily we sin, the more wickedly we sin.
