The CONCLUSION of this second Part.
Thus I have considered the various Parts and Principles of Mr. W—ms's Scheme, which are the Foundations on which he builds all his Superstructure, and the Ground on which he proceeds in all his Reasonings, through his Book; and many Particulars in his Answers and Arguments have been already considered.— Mr. W. says thus (P. 135. a.) I own, that at present I have no more Expectation to see the Scheme which Mr. Edwards aims to establish, defended upon Calvinistic Principles, than the Doctrine of Transubstantiation. —On which I shall only say, it might perhaps be thought very impertinent in me, […] tell my Readers what I do, or what I do not expect, concerning his Scheme. Every Reader, that has Reason enough of his own not to take the big Words and confident Speeches of others for Demonstration, is now left to judge for himself, whose Scheme is most akin to the Doctrine of Transubstantiation, for Inconsistence and Self-Contradiction.
