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