1Object. 9. The works which are not in our power to perform, are not our works, neither are truly and properly said to be done by us; but good works are said to be ours, and to be done by us: Therefore it is in our will to d• them, or not to do them. We deny the Major: For they are not therefore said to be ours, or to be done by us, because they are of our selves; but because God worketh them in us, as in the subject, and by us as instruments: and that so, as our will doth them of her own proper motion, although not except it be renewed, raised, and guided by the holy Ghost. For being regenerated and moved by him, we are not idle, but he worketh in us, we our selves also work well, and that freely without constraint: For by regeneration the Will is not taken away, but corrected, as which before would only that which is evil, will now that which is good.2 We are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath ordained that we should walk in them.
