“1810, Charles Buck, Materialists, entry in A Theological Dictionary, Volume 2, page 86, And the Necessarian asserts, that if, in any given state of mind⟳, with respect⟳ both to dispositions and motives, two different determinations, or volitions, be possible, it can be on no other principle, than that one of them should come⟳ under the description of an effect without a cause; just as if the beam of a balance might incline either way, though loaded with equal weights.”
“But neither you nor myself, necessarian as I am, can pretend⟳ to this degree of perfection.”
“When it is considered that, according to the Necessarian doctrine, no action fails to produce⟳ effects, and no effort can be lost, there seems every reason⟳ for the conclusion which I have⟳ no doubt⟳ is the fact, that true Necessarians must be the most diligent and confident of all workers.”
