iir- . i i i imi mmmmmmm RELIGIOUS. regeneration. Letters on the Origin and Progress of Arminimi Views in New-England, from a distinguished New-England minister of the Gospel, to one in the South. EXTRACT FROM'LETTER XVII. My Dear Dkotiier:? Another important point of difference between the modem speculations and New Elginnd Divinity, relates to tie agency ot the Holy Spirit i'l regeneration. W hat the precise views of the New 1 hiven divines are, in relation to this point, it is somewhat difficult to ascertain from their writings. They have been extensively understood to discard the doctrine of a direct, immediate divine efficiency ; and to hold, .u~* ).? I I/vN? SttiM-if norpr nnomfes nil the I I JUL 114V I4UI V ^ |M. .b ?.w,v. ^|?v. mind, bu: through tiie medium of truth or i 'motives. This doctrine is explicitly main-, tained by Mr. Finney in his Sermon enti- f tied " Sinners bound to change their own hearts," and has been repeatedly avowed in conversation, bv Dr. Beecher. I have also heard Dr. Beecher affirm, that Dr. Taylor's views on this subject accorded with his own. That such are the views of the New Haven divines, seems to be implied in much which they have written. ! They say, (Ch Spec, for 1633, p. 356.) j Indeed we know of no other effectual . hold which this divine agent can have on :he sinner whom he would turn from the error of his ways, but that which consists in so bringing the truths of the Bible into contact with his understanding and moral sensibilities, that he shall voluntarily shun the threatened evil, and choose the prolfered good." If this language was not intended to convey the idea, that the only j agency which the s[>irit exerts in regenera.1 ?:on,is so to bring truth or motives before liie mind o'* the sinner, as to induce or per. suade him to turn from the errors of his ways; it's impossible to tell what meaning was intended. All heir representations : respecting the suscep ihilities of unrcnew- j ed men to be influenced bv the motives of! the Gospel, and the tendency of truth when clearly seen to weaken and suspend the selfish principle, and produce a change of heart, are suited to make the same impres- j sion. Still, however, in their review of! Dr. Tyler's Strictures, they say, We have never called in question the doctrine of an | immedia.e and direct agency of the Holy j Spirit in regeneration." Whether they meant by tins declaration, any thing more, titan that they had never formally, or in so m my words, called this doctrine in question: or whether they intended to affirm that it is still an ar icle of their faith, I am unable ; to decide. Be this, however, as it may, the ' great body of those who profess to adopt1 the New Haven views do discard this doc- i trine. They deny that the more the sinner sees of God, the more he hates his : character, and that he invariably resists cv- j cry motive to holy obedience, till a new ;1 moral temper is created or implanted in his j1 soul by the power of the Holy Ghost, j ' They maintain, with Dr. Bencher and Mr. j ' Finney, that the influecce of the spirit in j 1 regeneration, is a persuasive influence ex- | 1 cried through the medium of truth or mo- ( tives. This, therefore, may be regarded . 1 as a prominent article of the New Divinity. ' 1 That tins is utterly at varience with the ! views of our Standard New England di. i i vines, is what I shall now attempt to show. < President Edwards-?" Observe that i1 the question with some is, whether the spir- , ( it of God does anv thing at all in these |1 days, since the scriptures have been completed, with those that allow that he does any thing, the question cannot be, whether 1 his influence be immediate; for if he does 1 anv thing at aiJ, his influence must be inline- J diate."?"The Apostle says,?'In whom ye are circumsised with the circumcision < made without hands, in pu.ting of the body of the sins of the fl.-sh, by the circumsci- i sion of Christ.' This phrase, made with- ' out hands, in scripture, always denotes 1 God's immediate power, above the course ' of nature, above second causes.r?There are two things relating to the doctrine of efficacious grace, wherein lies the main difference between contfoversaiists about to this doctrine. First, that the grace of God is determining and decisive as to the conversion of a sinner, or a man's < be io .ling a good man, and having those virtuous qualifications that entitle to an inter, st in Christ and his salvation. Secondly, That the power and grace and operation of the Holy Spirit, in, or towards, the conversion of a sinner, is immediate; that the habit of true virtue or holiness is immediately implanted or infused; that the operation goes so far, that a man has Habitual holiness given to him instantly, wholly by the ojmraiion of the spirit of God, and not gradually by assistance concuring wi h our endeavours."?44 According to Dr* W hitby's notion of the assistance of the Spirit* '-he spirit of God does nothing in the hearts or minds of men beyond the power of the devil; nothing but what the devil can do; and nothing showing any greater power in any respect, than the devil shows and exercises in his temptations. For he supposes, that all that the Spirit of God does, is to bring moral motives and inducements to the mind, and set them before the understanding, &c. It is possible that God may infuse grace, in some instances, into the minds of such persons as are striving to obtain it in the other way, though they may not observe it, and may not know that it is not obtained by gradual acquis, tion. But if a man has indeed sought it only in that way, and with as much dependence on himself, ?nd with as much neglect of God, in his indeavors and prayers, as j such a doctrine naturally leads to, it is not very likely that he should obtain saving grace by the efficacious, mighty power of God."?Miscellaneous Observations, pp. 176, 182,187, 220. Dr. Bellamy.?" In regeneration, there is a new, divine, and holy taste and relish begotten in the heart by the immediate influences of the Spirit of God.''?" That the idea of a natural beauty supposes an 'ntcrnai implanted by our Creator, by viiich ihe mind is capacitated to discern such kind of bean y, is clearly illus rated and pnved, by a la'e ingenious Philosopher. And that th; idea of spiritual beauty supposes an internal spiritual sense, communicated to the soul by die Spirit of God, in the work of the new creation, is also as clcarlv illustrated and proved, by a late divine, whose praise is in all: he churches."? " Are men regenerated by the law, or by the gospel ? If by regenerated, is meant, enabled to see the holy beauty of divine truths, we are regenerated neither bv the ' C * law nor by the gospel, nor by any external means or instructions whatsoever, biit by the immediate influences of the Holy Spirit."?lieilamv's works, vol. i. pD. 502,503, 532. Dr. Hopkins.?"The divine operation in regeneration, of which the new heart is the effect, is immediate, or it is not wrought by the energy of any means as the cause of it; hut by the immediate power and energy of the iloly Sprit.

Men are not re. genera'cd in the sense in which we are now considering rcgineration, bv light or the word cd God. This is evident from what hath been said under the last particular. If the evil eye which is total darkness, md shu's all the light out, be the evil :orrupt heart of man, then, his corrupt iicart must be renewed, in order to there being any true light in the mind, and prerious to it. There must he a discerning leart, which is the same with the new heart, in order to' see the light; and therefore his cannot be produced by light."?Hop. sins' System, vol. i. p. 457. Dr. Dwight.?"

The understanding being thus ^lightened and convinced, the heart, it is j supposed, yields itself to tin's conviction ; 1 md the man sponianiously becomes under ts influence, a child of God.

There are certain ten-1 lencies in minds, to be actuated by certain j notives sc. before them ; end when a man's | nind :s influenced or altered by arguments md inducements suited to work such an.' fleet, on one of such a disposition, the jflect is natural. But should a man be nade to act contrary to every previous >ropensity of his nature, or should a prin:iple of action radically new, at any time, j >e given him, such an effect must be altogether supernatural. Such an effect must )e as immediately from the power of God, j is the reanimation of a body which had j jeen ever so long lifeless, or as the original [ - */? .1 _ 4 grec ever so great, hath no tendency to regenerate a person. Doctrinal light hath its seat in the understanding, and it is contrary to all experience, that more knowledge of an object, to which the heart or will is for, its very nature, opposed, will change the opposition into love."?il The manner of divine acting m this instance of creation, is as much above our conception, as it was in the creation of the worlds."? " All the dispute, which some have raised concerning the direct agency cf God, and a kind of regeneration partially effected by the creature's previous endeavours to j become right, will cease in those who have ! become real subjects of the change.

Though the word of ; God, in the shape of motives, has an impor! tant instrumentality in carrying on the | preparatory wok in the conscience, and in : occasioning the exercises of the new heart, | it is, in no sense, instrumental in changing : the disposition. The motives must first i find the disposition already prepared to fai vor them, before they can act upon the ; mind. The holiness and justice of God, I for instance, arc no motives to love, while ! they are hated."?" How can the motives of religion be the instruments of produc- j j ing anew disposition, when that disposiiion j must exist betore the motives can take hold of the heart ? Or the question may be de- | cided by fact. Have not all these motives | assailed the heart for many years, without j taking away a particle of its opposition ? j For months together have they not been set home upon the conscience, without al all weakening the enmity ? How comes it to pass, then, that, at length, in one moment, they enter the heart and rise to supreme dominion ? Have they all at once ! broken their way through, and assisted in i new-moddelling a heart, 011 which, tin mat j moment, they could have no influence? The decisive question is, was the power I applied to the motives to open a passage 1 for themselves, or to the heart, to open a I passage for them? Let the event declare? | the heart was new before the motives en- J | tered."?Park Sircet Lectures, pp. 157, I 15S. 1 Dr. Porter.?" In regeneration, it has been said, the sinner's heart is changed by the influence of truth and motives, presented by God; just as one man's mind is changed in any case by the persuasion of another. How does the Orator persuade his hearers? By appeals to their understanding, conscience, passions, interest, 6cc. that is, by addressing j principles that are in the men aheady,? principles that are m all men. He operates on their minds by an objective influ encc ; by the presentation oiexternal mo- 1 1 tives, adapted to sway their purpose.? This is all he can do. But is this all that God can do ? He addresses men by the solemn motives of the gospel, through j preaching and other external meaflsof: persuasion. But is this all that he can do ? | Certainly not; for besides the prcsenta- ! tion of motives through the instrumentali- j ty of second causes, he can exert an im- | mediate influence on minds, such as no j man has the power of exerting on an-, other man; and this is the influence j which he does exert in regeneration. To deny this, is to deny special grace. For if regeneration is produced by an influence the same as that employed by one man on the mind of another, in common persuasion; certainly it is not in any sense a supernatural work. It takes place according to the laws of nature, in the ordinary course of cause and effect." Letters on Revivals pp. 84,85. Hats.

Destitute as we are in the Southern States of preaching, and of preachcis, it has been thought that a publication, such as proposed, containing approved discourses on doctrinal and practical subsubjects, would be found both acceptiblo and useful to the religious public. And as tho I thing has been repeatedly suggested by judicious friends, wo have concluded to adopt this method of ascertaining tho wishes of our brethren generally on the subject. Should the proposed work go into effect, as it can interfere in no way with any of our religious newspapers, we shall expect to see it circulate freely through tho Southern States.
