Confidence with which the Calvinistic Tenet of De-

pravity is usually asserted. False Modes of

Reasoning by which it is supported. Leads to

Skepticism. Sanctions absurd and impossible

Doctrines. To be believed only by rejecting the

Dictates of the Understanding. Harmony be-

tween Reason and Scripture

LETTER II.

Calvinistic Doctrine of Original Sin, or Total De-

pravity, stated. Not consistent with Scripture.

No evidence in the Sacred Writings, that Adam

was created with a perfect Nature, or that the

sinful Propensities of his Posterity were derived

from him

239

272

LETTER III.

Texts of Scripture examined. The Notion of a

Total, Hereditary Depravity confuted by Obser-

vation and Experience. Stronger Proofs, that

Men are upright and perfect, than that they are

totally depraved

287

LETTER IV.

Doctrine of Original Depravity can be reconciled

neither with the Physical, nor Metaphysical

Structure of Man. At variance with other Doc-

trines of the Calvinistic Scheme

LETTER V.

The Notion, that Men are punished for Sin inherit-

ed from Adam, is extravagant, irrational, and

unscriptural. Shown to be absurd, and the Ar-

guments in its Favour examined and confuted.

It is in Opposition to the Attributes of God

LETTER VI.

The Scheme of Original Depravity not necessary

to account for Moral Imperfection in Man. Ar-

guments against the Doctrine drawn from its

pernicious Consequences
