They are disposed to convert themselves to their own justification, by freely assenting to and cooperating with that said grace; that man can reject grace; yet he is not able without the grace of God to move himself, etc. Whence it is said, "Turn ye to me, and I will turn to you," we are admonished of our liberty. (Sess. VI., Jan. 13, 1547, Chap. 5.)
