Excerpt from Free Agency and Moral Inability Reconciled: A Sermon Preached at the Installation of Rev. Charles Lowe, as Pastor of the North Church in Salem, Massachusetts, September 27, 1855
Our superficial consciousness assures us that we are free agents. But how much do we mean by this? Simply, that the executive powers of themind and body are at the command of the will; that we can, through the force of the will, govern our thoughts, determine our pursuits and regulate our actions 3 in fine, that, within their own scope and sphere, our wills exercise a sovereignty not unworthy to be compared with that of the Omnipotent will over the universe at large. But the will,-is that free? Can you control its action? Can you arrest its gravitation Can you bend it even to your convie tions of expediency, of right, of duty? IS it not determined by laws and impulses which lie not under your immediate command?
