Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address to the Members of the Two Monthly Meetings: Constituting the Quarterly Meeting of Friends, on the County of Suffolk Man, at his creation, was form´d as perfect as his Nature would admit: for such a being only could be produced by infinite Wisdom and Goodness: Yet he was made, as Milton expresses it, Sufficient to have stood, but free to fall. Paradise Lost, Lib. III. P. 66. The former Part of this assertion, I think, is naturally deducible from the Attributes of the Deity; and unhappy. Experience has demonstrated the latter: For soon, very soon, Man exercis´d this freedom; and, by transgressing the command of his maker, proved a fatal example to his posterity; who, in Process of time, as mankind grew more numerous, increas´d in vice, and drew upon themselves all the pernicious consequences of intemperance and lust; enervated of their constitutions, contracted the before extended span of life, and render´d themselves objects of divine Displeasure.
