of_o his_o first_o impression_n now_o god_n have_v create_v the_o world_n innocent_a find_v a_o innocent_a chain_n of_o second_o cause_n it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o he_o break_v this_o

that_o when_o god_n move_v and_o make_v a_o man_n to_o act_n who_o commit_v a_o sin_n he_o determin_n he_o to_o the_o action_n but_o not_o to_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o action_n the_o motion_n be_v from_o god_n but_o the_o disorder_n which_o be_v observe_v in_o it_o come_v from_o man_n for_o instance_n when_o god_n determine_v my_o arm_n to_o thrust_v a_o sword_n in_o to_o a_o man_n breast_n he_o be_v not_o a_o partaker_n of_o the_o crime_n because_o this_o action_n of_o move_a my_o arm_n and_o stabbing_z with_o a_o sword_n be_v not_o moral_o a_o ill_a action_n for_o it_o be_v innocent_a in_o a_o battle_n or_o in_o one_o just_a defence_n but_o all_o the_o wickedness_n depend_v upon_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o intention_n of_o he_o that_o smite_v of_o which_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n nevertheless_o say_v these_o gentleman_n god_n who_o know_v the_o malice_n of_o the_o heart_n do_v notwithstanding_o this_o knowledge_n lend_v his_o immediate_a concurrence_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o this_o malice_n now_o if_o god_n refuse_v his_o concurrence_n the_o ill_a intention_n of_o the_o man_n will_v not_o proceed_v to_o its_o effect_n but_o it_o seem_v by_o his_o immediate_a concurrence_n he_o lend_v if_o we_o may_v so_o say_v his_o arm_n towards_o the_o commission_n of_o a_o crime_n thus_o be_v there_o not_o less_o danger_n to_o say_v that_o god_n have_v once_o give_v motion_n to_o the_o whole_a machine_n of_o the_o universe_n he_o leave_v it_o to_o accomplish_v second_o cause_n according_a to_o his_o eternal_a decree_n and_o the_o general_n order_n he_o have_v establish_v else_o add_v they_o god_n lend_v not_o his_o immediate_a concurrence_n only_o for_o a_o exterior_a action_n by_o which_o a_o man_n lift_v his_o arm_n but_o also_o according_a to_o mr._n jurieu_o for_o the_o inward_a action_n of_o the_o will_n now_o as_o a_o crime_n reside_v in_o the_o will_n which_o can_v not_o be_v determine_v without_o a_o immediate_a operation_n of_o god_n it_o follow_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o criminal_a motion_n of_o the_o will_n for_o example_n to_o hate_v god_n its_o difficult_a to_o comprehend_v how_o god_n can_v act_n as_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o action_n and_o lend_v his_o immediate_a concurrence_n for_o the_o motion_n by_o which_o man_n lift_v himself_o up_o against_o god_n without_o partake_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o the_o evil_n which_o be_v inseparable_a from_o the_o action_n to_o remove_v this_o difficulty_n mr._n jurieu_o say_v that_o in_o the_o hatred_n of_o god_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n one_o be_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o hatred_n the_o other_o be_v the_o determination_n of_o this_o motion_n on_o god_n side_n now_o the_o motion_n of_o hatred_n be_v not_o ill_a in_o itself_o for_o one_o may_v very_o just_o hate_v certain_a thing_n and_o god_n may_v concur_v thereto_o very_o just_o but_o the_o determination_n of_o this_o motion_n upon_o god_n part_n be_v a_o moral_a evil_n and_o a_o moral_a evil_n be_v not_o a_o entity_n but_o a_o privation_n of_o be_v with_o which_o god_n do_v not_o concur_v because_o he_o do_v not_o concur_v to_o a_o nonentity_n god_n do_v well_o determine_v the_o will_n to_o a_o real_a and_o positive_a action_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o good_a but_o he_o determine_v it_o not_o to_o nothingness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v evil_a or_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n by_o general_a law_n be_v oblige_v to_o make_v use_n of_o nature_n in_o thing_n themselves_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o will_n thus_o he_o move_v a_o person_n who_o be_v advance_v in_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o desire_n of_o a_o corrupt_a mind_n and_o he_o make_v he_o sensible_a of_o debauch_a pleasure_n in_o the_o abuse_n of_o creature_n to_o follow_v the_o law_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v establish_v because_o the_o sensation_n of_o pleasure_n be_v a_o physical_a good_a and_o not_o ill_o in_o itself_o and_o for_o god_n to_o will_n and_o do_v good_a as_o the_o occasional_a cause_n of_o this_o pleasure_n will_v be_v a_o criminal_a abuse_n of_o the_o creature_n but_o god_n will_v not_o that_o which_o be_v criminal_a in_o it_o and_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o moral_a impurity_n he_o illustrates_n this_o by_o the_o example_n of_o a_o stone_n which_o be_v throw_v towards_o heaven_n instead_o of_o follow_v the_o impression_n of_o the_o motion_n which_o the_o hand_n give_v it_o it_o stop_v its_o course_n and_o fall_v back_o again_o upon_o the_o earth_n because_o it_o be_v carry_v on_o by_o its_o natural_a heaviness_n thus_o god_n lift_v up_o the_o will_n to_o make_v it_o produce_v a_o act_n of_o love_n doubtless_o if_o it_o follow_v the_o motion_n which_o be_v
