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? Is not the will of […] the great rebel against God, and the great opposer of the work of Grace▪ Is it not the complaint of Christ against natural men that they will not come to him, though thereby they may have Life? John 5 40 How […] would I have gathered you, and you would me? Mat. 23.37 You must therefore know, when the will is subdued, the greatest enemy in your Soul against Christ and Grace is subdued; and indeed when the will is wrought upon to choose Christ, to be willing to receive him, the work of saving Conversion is wrought in that Soul.
