Whence it is apparent, that the degrees of free-will may most fitly be considered and distinguished according to the four estates of man: namely, of man not yet fallen into sin, or fallen; or renewed and restored, or glorified: that is, what manner, and how great the liberty of mans will was before the fall; what manner of liberty remaineth after the fall, before regeneration: of what condition it is in this life after regeneration, and what it shall be in the life to come after glorification.
