et es no extraodinary kindosAneuae to call the Comman-
dements and Pxhortations and otber stenificatiens of the Will,
by chename of Wili; thouchthe Will be an internal act of the
sonl, and Commands crebut mords and signes external of tbat
internal act. So that the Will and the vordare diverse thines;
and differ asthe chins Ggnitied, and the ligne. And hence it
comes to passe, that the Word and Commandement of 6od.
namely tbe holy Scripture, is usually called by Christiane
Cods Will, but his revealed ill; actenomledoine the very
Will of God, Wwhich ther cal his Coansell and Decree, 10 be
anocher thine. For the revesled Will of G0d to AbrakIm
vas, that Ilaac. Bonld be sacrificed; but it vashis Will he
Bonla not. And hes revealed Will ro Jonas, that Plinivet
Mould be destrored within forty dayes; bat not his Deeree and
Purposc. Ilis Decree and Purpose cannot bekenormn beforehand,
but may afcermards by the Fvent; for from the Fvent me
may inferrebis Will. But his revealed rilt, ohich is his
Word, must beforeenomn, because it oneht to be the rule of
our actions.
Therefore mhere it is saidthat God ill hare all men eobe
Cared, it is not meant ofhis Wrill internal; but of his Comman-
dements or Will revealed; as if it had been (aid, God hrach si-
ven Commandemenes, by tolloine of which all men mav

be siven rothe like places. For it isnot christian eothinte, if
God had the purpose te save al men, that any man conldbe
