1Object. 2. If the will when it is converted by God, or turned and inclined to other objects, cannot withstand, it is even mere passive, and so worketh not at all. Answ. This consequence deceiveth them, because in the Antecedent there is not a sufficient enumeration of those actions which the will may have, when it is moved of God: For it is able not only to withstand God moving it, but also of it own proper motion to assent and obey him. And when it doth this, it is not idle, neither doth it only suffer or is moved, but it self exerciseth and moveth her own actions; and yet this is to be understood of the actions of the Will, not of the new qualities or inclinations which it hath to obey God. For these the Will receiveth not by her own operation, but by the working of the holy Ghost.
