John Flavel on the Will of God

"As to the Will of God, it falls under a twofold consideration, to wit of his secret, and revealed Will. This distinction is found in that Scripture, Deut. xxix. 29. "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but those things -which are revealed belong unto us, &c." The first is the Rule of his own Actions; the latter, of ours: ………..
This revealed Will of God is either manifested to us in his Word, or in his Works. The former is his commanding Will, the latter his effecting or permitting Will; the one versant about Good, the other about Evil."
