Answer.

:484p. 230

Liberty does consist in an indifferency unto contrary Acts or Objects: sometimes indeed men have such a liberty, but that is peculiar to some cases: liberty is not opposed to necessity but to force: the will cannot be force by any external violence, but it may be necessitated by reason and conviction: natural men sin voluntarily yet necessarily: they reject the Gospel voluntarily, Joh. 5.40. yet necessarily, Joh. 6.44. Saints in heaven love and serve God necessarily yet freely: so tis here, Psal. 110.3
