Excerpt from Four Sermons Delivered at Cavendish, Vt: On the Doctrine of Endless Misery You will now, my respected hearers, be able to judge for yourselves, whether it is our duty as rational beings, to receive as divine truth, a prin cipic of doctrine so entirely destitute of all foundation, and which involves so many contra dictions and absurdities as that of the infinity of sin. And if this principle be abandoned, as I think it must be by every candid person and if we admit that sin is finite in its nature, being the limited act of a finite creature, it must appear unreasonable in the highest degree, to attach infinite effects or consequences to it. Reason, therefore, is most clearly against the doctrine of endless punishment, in this view of our subject for if we have arrived at correct conclusions te specting the nature of sin, we cannot reasonably believe a just God will in¿ict for it, a punishment so vastly disproportioned to its demerit.
