2. Whether there be any liberty in us, and what it is.
That there is liberty of will in men it is proved: 1. Because man was made to the Image of God; and free-will is part of the Image of God. 2. By places of Scripture: ⟨p. 83⟩Let us make man in our Image, according to our likeness. 1God made man from the beginning, and left man in the hand of his counsel. 3. By the definition of that liberty, which agreeth to man; for man worketh upon deliberation, that is, freely, knowing, desiring, and refusing this or that object. And because the definition agreeth unto man, therefore also doth the thing which is defined agree to him.
