An answer very like unto, if not coincident with this, may be easily gathered out of D. Twice; and it is, that Christ, as a private man, prayed for the pardon of all his persecutors, taking prayer for an expression of Christs antecedent will, not as prayer is a representation of his consequent will.

An Antecedent will, as Alvarez explains it, is the willing of a thing considered absolutely, as it is in it self, abstracting from all other considerations of it: A consequent will, is the willing of a thing considered with all circumstances wherewith it is clothed. Thus a Merchant willeth the preservation of his wares with an antecedent will, as the preservation of his wares is considered in it self; but he doth not will it with a consequent will, as it is considered with this circumstance, as 'tis accompanied with hazard, and danger of his life. Thus also a judge with an antecedent will, wills the life of a Prisoner, because his life is in it self, a thing good and desirable: but he doth not will it with a consequent will, as he is guilty of Murder, incest, or any the like capital crime.
