§ 11. The Truth of which may be evinced, from the Absurdity which would follow its being supposed to be False. For the Moral Commands of Christ, like the Moral commands of Moses, must be acknowledged to be Holy, Iust, and Good. Which yet I know not how they could be, were they not adequate to the Faculties of Grace and Reason. For what Goodness can there be, in an Impossibility of doing the Good that is required? or what holiness can there be, in unavoidable transgressions for want of strength? Or what Iustice can it be, that any Rational Agent should be accomptable for the Things he could never help? To command Impossibilities is not agreeable to Reason, in Him who threatens an Endless Punishment for not performing what is commanded. |
§ 11. The Truth of which may be evinced, from the Absurdity which would follow its being supposed to be False. For the Moral Commands of christ, like the Moral commands of Moses, must be acknowledged to be Holy, Just, and Good. Which yet I know not how they could be, were they not adequate to the Faculties of Grace and Reason. For what goodness can there be, in an Impossibility of doing the Good that is required? or what holiness can there be, in unavoidable transgressions for want of strength? Or what justice can it be, that any Rational Agent should be accountable for the Things he could never help? To command Impossibilities is not agreeable to Reason, in Him who threatens an Endless Punishment for not performing what is commanded. |
