APPENDIX, No. 2,

indicates that any species of necessity ought to be rejected which would clash with the constitutional freedom of the intellectual world, or that moral freedom which proves (as it were) inseparably interwoven with its very constitution from the earliest dawn of its existence.

The above, taken as one entire Treatise, is designed as an attempt to prove that there is nothing in the Divine Nature incompatible with the free-agency of the intellectual world.

THE DISSERTATION,

from the great accuracy of the Hebrew Text, proposes to obviate both astronomical and mineralogical objections to the Mosaic Account of the Creation, as regards the antiquity of the earth, &c,

When
any
of the divine measures are said to harden
any individual, such an effect (being entirely incon-
gruous to the assigned cause) proceeds in reality from
that individual himself violating his constitutionally
free-agency

The same means of grace may produce effects on some,
which are diametrically opposite to effects they may
produce on others; one species whereof, being in rea-
lity incongruous to the assigned cause, may be duly
traced to other causes

The dogma, "whatever is, is right," taken as a general
proposition is not true

On election being conditional, as regards the Seventeenth
Article of the Established Church of England and
Ireland
