From hence,I sometimes was led too far to invade the Soveraignty of Providence,and as it were arraign the Justice of so arbitrary a Disposition of Things,that should hide that Light from some,and reveal it to others,and yet expect a like Duty from both:But I shut it up,and check'd my Thoughts with this Conclusion,(1st.) That we did not know by what Light and Law these should be Condemn'd;but that as God was necessarily,and by the Nature of his Being,infinitely Holy and Just,so it could not be,but that if these Creatures were all sentenc'd to Absence from himself,it was on account of sinning against that Light which,as the Scripture says,was a Law to themselves,and by such Rules as their Consciences would acknowledge to be just,tho' the Foundation was not discover'd to us:And (2d.) that still as we are all the Clay in the Hand of the Potter,no Vessel could say to him,Why hast thou form'd me thus?
