arbitrary

"...all that preserves them of every moment is the mere arbitrary will, and uncovenanted, unobliged forbearance of an incensed God."
Page 47 Elements of Literature

I think arbitrary means having an unlimited amount of something.

    I think arbitrary can also be a synonym for tyranny.

    Dictionary.com states it could also mean unlimitied or uncontrolled power.
