Luther, in regard that the efficacy and success of free-will, as of all second causes, is from God, depresseth the creature to heighten God, Tom. 3.103. Deus labore nostro utitur s•u larvâ quadam sub quâ benedicit nos & sua largitur ut fidei sit locus. God useth our labour as a shadow or cypher, under which there is place for faith.

Luther meaneth of imperated acts of the will flowing from the corruption of a natural man desiring to be above a Law, and without God, that he may sin without being awed of Justice or of a God, but there is a natural inclination going before acts of will and reason, by which a natural man desires the being of God, in so far as he desires his own being, that he may subsist in God, if we suppose reason to be in no shadow, we cannot think it naturally and simply would desire that the body on which it depends were just nothing, or that the rays of the Sun, would wish the Sun to be turned into pure nothing, or the streams, that the fountain were nothing.
