Part. II
CHAP. I.
1. God acts upon the creature first, and not the creature first upon God. 2. The Lord's dominion of influences on free will. 3. Nor are we to be idle and sleep, because the Lord is Master of his own influences. 4. The Lord commands not us to have, or want influences. 5. Influences are not our warrant to act, but the efficient cause thereof.
Hitherto much hath been said of the Sovereignty of the Lord in divine influences. Now are we to speak of the way of getting these influences, and of the necessity of them, and how we may fetch the wind.
