To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They 'resist the Holy Ghost.* The conscience can hardly be regarded as an endowment of the animal «/^xv» or soul. In every man there is a witness for a * law ' against which he offends by sin. If Adam was originally endowed with a spirit as well as a soul, we do not imderstand how by transgression he succeeded in excising one part of his nature. If, on the other hand, neither Adam nor his descendants possess ^^pneumay as Dr. Thom main- tains, they are not accountable for conduct which is not sp...iritual. Since men cannot receive the gospel until they become ' spiritual,' how can they be accountable for its non-reception if destitute of the spiritual faculty? Is it not easier to understand that the enervated ' spirit ' is supematurally energised by the Holy Spirit — so that a spiritual life is produced, which is called irv^viuk — than it is to conceive of the fall as involving the loss of one part of man's nature, or of redemption as bestowing a wholly new element of being? Without dogmatising on a subject, which certainly has two sides, perhaps the most considerable alleviation of the difficulty will be found in the suggestion above made, that by spirity as pro- duced in the twice-born man by the Spirit of God, our Lord intended the spiritual and eternal life secured by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, not the addition of a wholly new faculty to the humanity.
