Church II Topics
Ch. 6

4

§.1
Part 3

Under this the present head what all that remains to be observed, is —
that as often in so far as this application of the will and its
guides the affections has place — and the sort of feeling
called confidence is entertained, avowed and cherished
there is exists always this sort of double judgment — judgment
upon a judgment — including the having the ultimate
judgment having for its subject the whatsoever passed which may
has have been passed without the interference of the will — which
subject may for the purpose of distinguishing it from those
original ones above spoken of under the name
of external subjects of persuasion, be termed the an internal
one.

7
When the will is
thus applied &
confidence thus
entertained & avowed —
the above mentioned
sort of double judgment
exists exists — a
judgment on internal
subject exists

what for distinction
may be called an
internal subject
of persuasion.

[Of this distinction the practical use the moral use will be brought to
view a little further on.][ All confidence of which the intensity
See Y.. Power over
persuasion, how exercised.

is thus augmented by the will is self-confidence: its internal
subject, the man's own persuasion — as being all that is
present to the his mind is not the any assertion attributed to the Almighty]

8
Seen below
the use of this distinction.
All confidence
of which
the intensity is
increased by the will
is self confidence.

[By From any such application of made by the will to the judgment
for the purpose of influencing its decisions, and causing them
to have with a force greater than what would otherwise have
place: cause them to have on one side consequences
from which mischief in more shapes than one is but too apt
to flow ensue will come to be pointed out: in one word
from the idea of duty and merit on the one side part, come
the ideas of demerit and violation of duty on the other
thence ill-will — and lastly thence again intolerance.]

9
The mischiefs of
this application of
the will shown infra
From this idea merit comes
the idea of demerit, — & thence
intolerance.

A case in which this internal subject of persuasion
always has place is the case where an inward light
is said to have place.

10
Exemplification of the
internal subject
of persuasion — inward light

Advice — So to be self-confident as not to be intolerant or malevolent.

[Advice. So to be self confident
as not to be intolerant or
malevolent]
