Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Literary and Theological Review, Vol. 3
It is not our present design to declare the nature of this delusion. This is ahead so thoroughly understood, that no intelligent mind can easi y mistake it. Our present intention is, to trace it to its legitimate parentage, in a common m onoov. It is now generally known, that an individual, upon fully receiving the New Dispensation, rejects the principle which he once held res ctmg perfect ability, independ ently of grace, to keep a] the commands of God. He also discards the idea, that all sin lies in the volitions, or immra tive acts of the will and that, by a fixedness of purpose, he can overcome the world, and perform his whole duty. He professes to have entered into the rest which remaineth for the people of God, and no longer to have any use for his body, his understandi or his will: these are, in his view, so identified with the'geity, as to be moved by him alone. Antecedently to adopting this opinion Of a personal union with God, he professes to be guided by divine impulses, or immediate revelations. Here it is assumed, by the subjects of the delusion, that their internal man is ready to Obey, and does immediately Obey, whatever is thus revealed to their minds, or impressed on their consciences.
