X. _Of Free-Will_.

The condition of man after the fall of Adam is such, that he cannot

turn and prepare himself, by his own natural strength and good

works, to faith, and calling upon God: Wherefore we have no power

to do good works pleasant and acceptable to God, without the grace

of God by Christ preventing us, that we may have a good will, and

working with us, when we have that good will.
