- Othe fist Arcument fromreason, whichis, that if liberry
- a betaken amay, the nature and formal reason of sin is taken
- avay Lansmer, by dengins the consequence. T he nature of sin
- consisteth in this, that the action done proceed fromou nill, and be
- acainst the Lam. A Fudse in judsine mbether it be jin or not,
- hich is done asainst the La, l’ols at no hicher cause ol the acti-
- on thenthe vill os the doer. Nou When J Cay the action mas neces-
- Parr, I de not say it vas done acainst che willo the doer, bur rich
- his will, and se necessarily, because mans vill, tbatis, every act
- oftheriil, and purpose of man had a sufficient a d theretore a ne-
- cessary canse, and consequent ly every voluntary action mas neces-
- sitated. An action therefore maybe voluncary and a sin and ne-
- vertheless be necessary. And becanse Cod may afflict by ricbe
- derived from his Omniporeney, thonsls sin vere not. And the ex
- ample of punistment on voluntary pnners, is the causethat pro-
- duceth Justice, and maleth sin less frequent; for God 10 punist
- Such sinners, as Thave Beved before, is n injustice. And us
- son have my ansiver ro his objections, boch ont of Scripeure and
- Reason.
