22. In respect of willing, a man is not free.
But the inquisitive mind of man, willing to shift off from himself, as
far as he can, all thoughts of guilt, though it be by putting himself into a worse state than that of fatal necessity, is

plea, that a man is not free at all, if he be not as free to will as he is to act what he wills. Concerning a man's
liberty, there yet, therefore, is raised this further question, Whether a man be free to will? Which I think is what is
meant, when it is disputed whether the will be free. And as to that I imagine.
