    • 1675, Richard Baxter’s Catholick Theologie, book 1, part 2, “A Premonition”, page 5:
      M. S. Adam’s whole man was ſanctified, and ſo fitted to obey, and to glorifie Juſtice: His free-will was not an indifferency, but (as Gib.) that noble virtue of his Soul, by which he could go above all created good, ſo that Liberty and Eupraxy or Obedience are all one: But we cannot ſtir an inch to God, above the Creature. Liberty is to imitate God, whoſe Will cloſeth with himſelf, and resteth in himſelf for ever: And mutability is but an adjunct of our Liberty.
