Sol. 1. That you should be willing, and […] Christ, is impossible: For as much as your willingness to accept of Christ, is a fruit of Christ's willingness to give and bestow• himself upon ⟨p. 31⟩you: I pray you tell me, Is real and unfeigned willingness to be holy, to be like to God, to be in all things guided and directed by the Spirit, and the Word of God, a flower that grows in Natures Garden?
