- summary: It is this difficulty that has caused two parties to spring up, one of the _predeterminators_, the other of the supporters of _mediate knowledge_. _Metaphysical evil_ consists in mere imperfection, _physical evil_ in suffering, and _moral evil_ in sin.

- summary: To begin then;--if motive is merely the condition on which the mind acts, and exerts no influence in the production of volition, it is certainly improper to say, that it _gives rise to volition_. The younger Edwards himself has spoken of an _efficient, producing_ cause, in such a manner as to show that he regarded them as convertible terms, p. 46.

- summary: : it is the perfect and fixed impossibility of certain laws and principles of being, leading to certain volitions; and is contrasted with _physical inability_, which is the established impossibility of a certain volition, producing a certain effect. So we may say, that _moral ability_ is the certain and fixed connexion between certain laws and principles of being, and volitions; and is contrasted with _natural_ ability, which is the established connexion between certain volitions and certain effects.

- summary: There can be no other meaning than the capacity to create an ideal presentment of the penalties attaching to certain actions. Of course, punishment in the sense of the infliction of pain merely because certain actions have been committed, no Determinist would countenance.

- summary: A _decisive_ character exists, where the Will acts in harmony with propensities strongly developed. It presents but one scale by which to determine the character of moral acts, the command requiring us to love with all the heart.

- summary: The fancy-picture of other perceptual worlds, made possible by other senses, has nothing to do with the problem of how it is that man stands in the midst of reality. Vice versa, it may happen that men with moral imagination lack technical skill, and are dependent on the service of other men for the realisation of their ideas.
