Addenda. Sect. 1.

To be copied
NB A defence is here supposed, too obscure I should think to make an impression: but which if stated must have no formal answer. This seems hardly worth while. The bringing together the absurdities and contradictions, and placing them in a light so strong as to preclude defence, answers the same purpose in a shorter compass. I cannot, I think, be charged with having
altered, at one the sense of our Author's words:
or to have with having assigned to them a meaning
other, or more extensive than he
intended. He cannot defend himself
by saying, that he meant only, that man was
of necessity subject to the will of his Creator so far,
as to be acted upon in a certain manner,
& that as God had given to matter &
principle of mobility, and had so arranged
& disposed things, that this principle
could be acted upon only in a certain
mode: so when he had indued man
with consciousness, & sensation he
had decreed, that these sensations could
be put into e, worked upon <add>excited only by certain objects,</add> and this consciousness
could be employed only about these
objects: In a word, that Sensations
are to man, what the moving power
is to matter. For his argument goes
farther than this.

It is not enough to say, that there is
the same concomitancy the same
conjunctions between motives and actions,
