4. When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, he freeth him from his naturall bondage under sin;a and, by his grace alone, inables him freely to will, and to do that which is spiritually good;b yet so, as that by reason of his remaining corruption, he doth not, perfectly, nor only, will that which is good, but doth also will that which is evil.c
