COMMONPLACE NOTES

DESCRIPTION

When a distinction is made between God's revealed will and his secret will, or his will of command and decree, "will" is certainly in that distinction taken in two senses: his will of decree is not his will in the same sense as his will of command is. Therefore 'tis no difficulty at all to suppose that one may be otherwise than the other. His will in both senses is his inclination; but when we say he wills virtue or loves virtue, or the happiness of his creatures, thereby is intended that virtue, or the creature's happiness, is what, absolutely and simply considered, alone is agreeable to the inclination of his nature. His will of decree is his inclination to a thing, not as to that thing absolutely and simply, but with respect to the universality of things that have been, are or shall be. - WJE 13:323
