Pp. 53, 56. " There is nothing, in the whole circle of created objects, which affords any ar- gument to prove, that man's dependence destroys his moral agency. " Vol. Ii. P. 217. Thus the Doctor, as well as other theo- logians, regards men as moral agents. It would seem, however, that their moral agency, according to his theory, is a very different thing from what it is, according to the views commonly entertained. — Since, by the Doctor's account, men are 47 entirely destitute of poner, their ...agency does not consist at ail in the exercise of power belonging to theaiSelvcs; a^l their actions are created hy divine power, and cannot therefore, did ihoy possess ever so much, involve any exercise of power be- longing to themselves. They are not agents as far as it respects the exercise of power belonging to themselves, anymore than Adam was an agent in God's tak- ing the rib from his side. Their actions, like that effect in Adam, are the effects of divine power solely. Their agency, therefore, consists solely in their being the subjects, in which those effects are created.
