Excerpt from Systematic View of Divinity: Or, the Ruin and Recovery of Man

If then, a possibility of sinning is essential to a state of trial, where is the ground of admiration, when we find sin has in fact, took place among God's crea tures if the state of trial in which the creature is placed, is such, that humanly speaking, there is a greater probability of sinning, than of standing, it will confessedly bear hard upon the wisdom and goodness of God. But when the prospect of standing is equal to that of falling, it cannot be denied to be a fair trial. And if the prospect of standing, is much greater than that of falling, as was the case with our first parents in their trial under the first covenant, we have rea son to acknowledge divine wisdom and goodness ap pearing in the constitution, altho' the event was that man fell.

Excerpt from Systematic View of Divinity: Or, the Ruin and Recovery of Man

A probationer for eternity, who must be accountable for his belief, as well as for his practice, can surely never need to apologize for his making a free inquiry into the principles of our holy religion. It is easier much, to take things upon trust, and to profess and practice according as things have been handed down by our predecessors, than to take the pains of examining for ourselves, that our faith may stand upon the clear evidence of the truth, rather than an implicit alliance in the sufficiency and certainty of those searches after truth, which have been made by such as have gone before us.
