Chapter IXOf Free Will

God hath indued the Will of Man, with that natural liberty, and power of acting upon choice; that it is^a neither forced, nor by any necessity of nature determined to do good or evil.

Man in his state of innocency, had freedom, and power, to will, and to do that^b which was good, and well-pleasing to God; but yet^c was mutable, so that he might fall from it.

Man by his fall into a state of sin hath wholly lost^d all ability of Will, to any spiritual good accompanying salvation; so as a natural man, being altogether averse from that good,^e and dead in Sin, is not able, by his own strength, to^f convert himself; or to prepare himself thereunto.

When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of Grace^g he freeth him from his natural bondage under sin, and by his grace alone, enables him^h freely to will, and to do that which is spiritually good; yet so as that by reason of hisⁱ remaining corruptions he doth not perfectly nor only will that which is good; but doth also will that which is evil.

The Will of Man is made^k perfectly, and immutably free to good alone, in the state of Glory only.
