One more example. — " Lord God of Israel," said Da- vid, " thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand ? Will Saul come down as thy servant hath heard ?"t The Lord replied to him, that Saul would come down, and that the men of Kei- lah would deliver him into Saul's hand. Now the fact is that Saul did not come down, neither did the men of Keilah deliver David into his hand : for David im...mediately made his escape. Here then God positively foreknew, and actu- ally declared, what did not come to pass. The indispensa- ble connexion between foreknowledge and predestination, which has been so often asserted, is therefore a pure theo- logical figment, destitute of all liberal thought, and as cramped as it is untrue. But, perhaps, it may now be objected, that my reasoning destroys predestination altogether. This objection would be inconsiderate. For such a being as I have supposed God to be, presiding over such a race of intelligent creatures as I have supposed men to be, must have his own views and designs; and w r ould certainly predetermine to the extent of his own volitions and plans.
