The all- wise God, for reasons unrevealed to us, has not seen fit to ex- tend his pardoning mercy to the whole of the race, and a portion of them are left to suffer the NOT DEROGATORY TO GOD. 33 just penalty of their sins. This solution may not be very flattering to our intellectual pride, nor very satisfactory to our curiosity ; but it is the only one which the Scriptures furnish, and it must suffice us for the present life. I leave it to you to decide whether the difficulties with which the f...act that so many perish is encumbered, are mitigated or eluded by discard- ing the doctrine of election; and whether this doctrine, fairly understood, contains any thing so derogatory to the Deity, as the theories to which it stands opposed. The doctrine does indeed recognise his sovereignty, and herein it may disturb the composure of those who love to think of him only as the kind and compas- sionate Father of his creatures. But it is sub- mitted to their candour, whether his paternal character is the only one in which the Scrip- tures present him to us.
