Q. 3. How did God leave him to abuse the freedom of will?
A. Not by inclining him to abuse it; but by with-holding that further grace which he was no way obliged to continue to him.
Q. 4. Did the will of man lose its liberty to good, by the Fall?
A. Yes, it did, and is so wounded, that it cannot without preventing and regenerating grace put forth one spiritual and saving act. Eph. 2.8, 9, 10. For by grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of our selves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast; for we are all his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, &c.
