4. When God converts a Sinner, and translates him into the state of Grace, he freeth him from his natural Bondage under Sin, and by his Grace alone, enables him^a freely to will, and to do that which is spiritually good; yet so as that, by reason of his^b remaining Corruptions, he doth not perfectly nor only will that which is good, but doth also will that which is evil.^c
