[Greek or Hebrew], God willing. Hereunto all that follows is resolved, It is all 1founded in the Will of God. And two things may be denoted hereby, (1) The Inclination and disposition of the mind of God, he was free, he was not averse from it. This is that which is generally intended, when we say we are willing unto any thing that is proposed unto us; that is, we are free, and not averse unto it; so may God be said to be willing, to have an Inclination and an Affection unto the work, or to be ready for it, as he speaks in another place, with his whole Heart and with his whole Soul, Jer. 32. 41. But although there be a Truth herein, as to the Mind and Will of God towards Believers and their Consolations, yet it is not what is here peculiarly intended. Wherefore (2) A determinate act and purpose of the Will of God is designed herein. [Greek or Hebrew], is God purposing or determining. So is the same Act of God expressed by [Greek or Hebrew], Rom. 9. 22. what if God willing to show his wrath; that is, purposing or determining so to do. And this [Greek or Hebrew], as it respects [Greek or Hebrew]; is the same with [Greek or Hebrew], Ephes. 1. 11. wherefore God willing, is God in Sovereign Grace and from especial Love, freely purposing and determining in himself, to do the thing expressed, unto the Relief and Comfort of Believers.
