whereas original sin doth necessarily incline him to sinful actions & courses in general; though to this kind of sin in special, or to this particular, in what kinds soever, it doth not: yet by the way it is to be considered, that Calvin in some particulars, as namely in gracious courses, did attribute so much to the efficacy of God's operation upon a man's will, as that the actions performed thereby though voluntary, yet in his opinion were not to be accounted free; & indeed they are wrought in opposition & as it were in spite of a certain principal of corruption that in part remains in the very best of God's children. But we see no reason to the contrary, but that, when once God hath planted in us a principle of new life, of the life of grace, by the spirit of regeneration, though all the powers thereof do incline only to that which is good, like as the powers of natural corruption incline only unto evil, yet the particular use and exercise of those is always free: Like as the particular use and exercise of the powers of our corruption is always free to the committing of this or that sin according unto emergent occasions standing in congruity to every man's particular disposition.
