WHEREIN IT IS CONSIDERED WHETHER THERE IS OR CAN BE ANY SORT OF FREEDOM OF WILL, AS THAT WHEREIN ARMINIANS PLACE THE ESSENCE OF THE LIBERTY OF ALL MORAL AGENTS; AND WHETHER ANY SUCH THING EVER WAS OR CAN BE CONCEIVED OF.
Section I: Showing the manifest inconsistence of the Arminian notion of
Liberty of Will, consisting in the Will's self-determining Power.
Section II: Several supposed ways of evading the foregoing reasoning
considered.
Section III: Whether any event whatsoever, and Volition in particular,
can come to pass without a Cause of its existence.
Section IV: Whether Volition can arise without a Cause, through the
activity of the nature of the soul.
Section V: Showing, that if the things asserted in these Evasions should
be supposed to be true, they are altogether impertinent, and
cannot help the cause ofArminian Liberty; and how, this
being the state of the case, Arminian writers are obliged to
talk inconsistently.
Section VI: Concerning the Will determining in things which are
perfectly indifferent in the view of the mind .
Section VII: Concerning the Notion of Liberty of Will, consisting in
Indifference
Section VIII: Concerning the supposed Liberty of the will, as opposite
to all Necessity
Section IX: Of the Connexion of the Acts of the Will with the Dictates
of the Understanding.
Section X: Volition necessarily connected with the influence of
Motives: with particular observations on the great
inconsistence of Mr. Chubb's assertions and reasonings
about the Freedomof the Will.
Section XI: The evidence of Gods certain Foreknowledge of the
volitions of moral Agents
Section XII: God's certain foreknowledge of the future
volitions of moral agents, inconsistent with such a
contingence of those volitions as is without all necessity. Section XIII: Whether we suppose the volitions of moral Agents to be
connected with any thing antecedent, or not, yet they
must be necessary in such a sense as to overthrow
Arminian liberty.
