2. What difference there is of the free-will which is in God, and that which is in reasonable creatures, Angels and men.
1Two things there are common to God and reasonable creatures, as touching the liberty of Will: 1. That God and reasonable creatures do things upon deliberation and advice; that is, they choose or refuse whatsoever objects, with an understanding going before the action, and a will accompanying the action of choosing or refusing. 2. They choose or refuse any thing of their proper and inward motion without constraint: that is, the Will being fit in it own nature to will the contrary of that which it willeth, or to suspend the action it intendeth, of it own accord inclineth to the one part, Psal. 104.24. & 115.3. Gen. 3.6. Isa. 1.19. Mat. 23.37.
