On the Freedom of the Will
by Jonathan Edwards
PART III
WHEREIN IS INQUIRED, WHETHER ANY SUCH LIBERTY OF WILL AS ARMINIANS HOLD, BE NECESSARY TO MORAL AGENCY, VIRTUE, PRAISE, AND DISPRAISE, &C.
Section I: God's moral Excellency necessary, yet virtuous and praiseworthy.
Section II: The Acts of the Will of the human soul of Jesus Christ, necessarily holy, yet truly virtuous, praise-worthy, rewardable, &c
Section III: The case of such as are given up of God to sin, and of fallenman in general, proves moral Necessity and Inability to be consistent with Blameworthiness.
Section IV: Command and Obligation to Obedience, consistent with moral Inability to obey.
Section V: That Sincerity of Desires andEndeavors, which is supposed to excuse in the non-performance of things in themselves good, particularly considered.
Section VI: Liberty of indifference, not only not necessary to Virtue, but utterly inconsistent with it; and all, either virtuous or vicious habits or inclinations, inconsistent with Arminian notions of Liberty and moral Agency.
Section VII: Arminian notions of moral Agency inconsistent with all Influence of Motive and Inducement, in either virtuous or vicious actions.
