and in the mean time wrong God, as if we were to be more tender of Man's Honour than of God's Honour: Why should it not suffice us what so many have said in this matter, that the turning of the Will is done by Moral Perswasion as Man is a Rational Creature, made for Moral Government; but the Efficacy of God's Grace lieth in the immediate Operations of God's Spirit upon Man's Will, which is subdued in a way of power, as Man is a wicked Creature, and yet so subdued, that no Man is forced against his Will, but made willing; and yet that which makes him so, is not the cooperation of his own Will with God's Spirit, but the Conquest of the Spirit over the Will, which being effectual, Man shall not be able to Resist it; |
