Chapter
VI.—Free-Will.
“Whether any one, truly hearing the word of
of the true Prophet; is willing or unwilling to receive it, and to
embrace His burden, that is, the precepts of life, he has either in his
power, for we are free in will.754
| 754 [Here again the
doctrine of free-will is pressed, the Homilies containing no
parallel. Chaps. 6–13 have no corresponding passage in
Homily X.—R.] | For if it
were so, that those who hear had it not in their power to do otherwise
than they had heard, there were some power of nature in virtue of which
it were not free to him to pass over to another opinion. Or if,
again, no one of the hearers could at all receive it, this also were a
power of nature which should compel the doing of some one thing, and
should leave no place for the other course. But now, since it is
free for the mind to turn its judgment to which side it pleases, and to
choose the way which it approves, it is clearly manifest that there is
in men a liberty of choice.
