as mell have said antccedent) inclination.) Po confonnd the fa-
culry of rhe rril, miththe il, vere to confonnd a Wil, vrithno
Wil; for thefaculty of the Wil is no ril; the Aet onely Which he

he hath the poverof Willins, but Willech nothins, nor hathfor
that time any Wil. Y must therefore have departe d very much

the last part of Deliberation. But it is thatWil, which maleth
the Action voluncary; and therefore necds must bethe last: But

preat many Wills and NilIs, theyuse to be called inclinations, and
the last oncly Wil, whichis immediare ly follemed by the volumtary
Action. But neverchele sseboth he that hath those intentions, and
Cod thar seeththem reckoneth them for so many Wilis.
