and immutable perfection & depravity

Morality may be said to be original necessary and eternal not independently
of the existence of physical acts & bodies i.e. not so upon the
positive supposition of their non-existence but necessary upon the
supposition of their existence— just as Geometry — the equality
of three Angles of a Triangle to two right ones is
necessary upon that supposition of their existence and whenever
they existed must be true — but can hardly be said to be
so otherwise — as for instance if there were no things
existing that had Angles no Triangle existing it
could not be said that there was any figure exiting
whose three Angles were equal to two right ones.
but the moment it should exist, there would be — just
so it is with eternal necessary morality — suppose the physical
Acts these are [the moral consequences] necessary no take away the physical Acts
and they exist those consequences no where but in speculation — that is in fact
to not exist at all.
