Which are minded of their owne free-will] He would compel none: neither doth Almighty God. His people are all Voluntieres, Pſal. 110.3. Eſay 56.6. he findes them not ſo, but makes them ſo; Ambroſ. in Pſ. 1 and accounts that Virtus nolentium nulla eſt. Lex voluntarios quaerit. God accepts a free-will offering, and commands us to come off roundly and readily in his ſervice.
