The good pleasure of God is an act of the divine will freely and effectively determining all things.

An idea in man is first impressed upon him and afterwards expressed in things, but in God it is only expressed, not impressed, because it does not come from anywhere else.

The will of God is single and totally one in Him.

Hearing the word is the devout receiving of the will of God.

Everyone who understands the nature of God rightly necessarily knows that God is to be believed and hoped in, that he is to be loved and called upon, and to be heard in all things.

Sanctification is the real change in man from the sordidness of sin to the purity of God's image.

In the exercise of God's efficiency, the decree of God comes first. This manner of working is the most perfect of all and notably agrees with the divine nature.
