Spontoncous; beins apled eo Mlen and Beasts in spectal, is
called Voluniary. Tet the Wil and Appecite, thongh the
verus same thing; use tobe distingnised in certain occasions.
For in the publigue conversarion of Men, rhere they are 10
indge ofone anothers Will, andof. the recularity and irreeu
lariey of one anothers actions, not every Appetire, but the last
is esteeme d in the publique jndeement for the Will. Nor eve-
ry action proccedine from appetice, but that ovely to rhich
therehad preceded or ouche to have preceded jome deliberati-
on. And ehis L Cay is so, rhenone man is to judee of anothers
Will. For every man in himself, enomethtbat what he desi-
reth orhath an appetite to, che same he bath a willto, thoneh

Et is a contradiction, hesaith, chathavine said chat volun-

Whacloerer tollo echche lastapperice is voluncary, and Where
chere is bue one appecire chac is chelast. Not observine that
voluncarr presupposeth deliberarion, nhen thejudcement nhe-
ther the action be voluntary or noc, is not in the Actor but in
ihe Fndse, Who recardeth not the rillof the Actor mherethere
is nothine to beaceused in the action of deliberate malive; qet
lenometh that thoneh there be bat cne app. tite, the same is tru-

action.
This also be sairh is a concradction, that havins said, Ho
