This
being
not the

but
touch.upon
it
Concerning
that
which followes,
I thould

fay,
we have found
Angue

but
being

it
is
to
any
that
in

may be only

the
padde

Phÿficall
and
Morall
are
taken to be
tearmes,
it
feemes
,Equipollent to
Neceffa_
ry,
and
Not-neceffary;
which
is
fuch a
wrefting
of
the tearmes

and
their knowne

as
men
(hall

Hence
is
it
that
A
&s
Phyficall
and
Necetfary
are the
fame;
Every

whereunto
their conformity
is

HowMandl and
Not-

come
to
be tearmes'of

Mr
Goodwin
will
declare
perhaps
heareafter,
when
he
!hall
have
leifure
to
teach
as
much
new
Philofophy, as
he hath already done Divinity;
In
the
meane
time
we deny
that
any influence from God
'on the
wills
of
men,
doth
make
any
A&
of
them
Necefïary
as
to the
manner
ofits
production,
And
fo
this
firít
Argument for the Inconfifency,
of

Exhortations with
the

effi-
ciency
of

is

That
which followes in
this
seafion
to
the end,
is
a
pretended
Anfwer
to
an
Obje
&ìon
ofour
Authors owne framing; being only introduced,
to
give
farther
Advantage,
to
exprefl'e
himfelfe
againft any reall
efficiency
of
the
Spirit, or Grace
of
God,
in
the
hearts
or
on
the
wills
of
men
;Not
to inffi
up-
on his
darkening the Difcourfe
in
hand,
from
his
miferable confounding
of
thofe tearmes
Phyficall
and
.hlorall,
formerly difcovered,
I (hall
as
neare
as I
can, clofe with
his
aime in
it,
for
the more
cleare
confederation
there-
of.
Firfi,
he tells us, 7hat
the operation
of
God on
the will ofnsan,
is
in
refpelt
of
its
proceeding
from him,
Phyficall, but
in
refpefl
ofits
nciture,
and
fubflance,
tis
properly
Morall.

But
Firf,
if
a man
fhould afke Mr
Goodwin,
what
he
intends by
this
Ope
ration
of
God on the
will
of
man,
to
the
end intended,
I
feare he would
be
very
hard put to it, to
inftance
in
any
particular: It
is
fuf
iciently
evident,
he
acknowledgeth none
in this
kind, but what
confifts in
the
Exhortations
of
the
VVord.
Secondly, having
told
us
before,
that
Phyficall,
is
as
much
as
Necefary,
and
Moral!
as Not-
necefary:
How comes
it
about
that
the
fame
operation
of
God,
the
fame
A&
of
his
Power
is
become in feverall regards Phyficalland
Morali z
That
is, Neceffary
and
Not-
neceffary? is
Mr
Goodwin
reconciled to
the
Af
ertion,
That
the
fame
thing
may
be
Paid
to be
Necefary,
,and
Not-
neceffary,
in fun
-
dry
refpe
&s?
Thirdly,
