Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Methods, Vol. 8: January-December, 1911
Such already is the God of Augustine, and hence of historic ortho doxy. From that condemnation, says the great father, which came upon mankind as a result of the sin of the parents, none can ever be freed, but by the free and gracious mercy of God, which makes a separation of mankind, to shew in one of the remainders the power of grace, and in the other the revenge of justice. Both which could not be expressed upon all mankind, for if all had tasted of the punish ments of justice, the grace and mercy of the Redeemer had had no place in any; and again, if all had been redeemed from death, there had been no object left for the manifestation of God's justice; but now there is more left than taken to mercy, that so it might appear what was due unto all, without any impeachment of God's justice, who notwithstanding having delivered so many, has herein bound us forever to praise his gracious commiseration.
