However, light as I ihould be difpofed to make of your accufation, I mall now treat it with the gravity that yourfelf will think it intitled to ; and I think I may undertake to fatisfy you, from your own mode of ar- guing, that there is no evil whatever to be apprehended from the doclrine of neceffity, but, on the contrary, the greateft good, and that you evidently argue on principles in- confiftent with each other when you throw fo much odium on the fcheme. In DOCTRINE OF NECESSITY. 55 In the ...firft place, you fay, p. 149, that " on the fcheme of neceflity all is refolved " into a divine conftitution, which is unal- " terably fixed. If any, therefore, are to " fucceed better, or be happier, in any part " of their exiftence than others, their fupe- " rior profperity and happinefs will be infal- " libly fecured to them ; and though there " is a certain difpofition of mind, and courfe " of action, which are infeparably connected " with their fuccefs and happinefs, as means " to bring about thofe events, yet the means " as well as the end are alike neceffary ; and " having no power to make either the one " or the other at all different from what " they are, or are to be, their lot, through " the whole of their being, is by them abfo- " lutely unalterable.
