The holy angels, who are absolutely dependent on the thrice holy Jehovah, owe the continuance of holy acts to a sovereign communication of antecedent holy influence to secure a holy disposition. A suspension of such influence would leave them in the state of their proper passive power; and this towards a moral agent is to deal with liira in mere equity. The exercise of equity terminated on Adam ; but equity did not constitute him morally bad - it only left him to his passive power ; liberty, however, acting on this latter, produced moral evil. Edward Williams 1750-1813
