    Liverpool , Sir , August 5 , 1820 . SINCERELY wish the doctrine of I Divine Influence had more engaged the attention of your Correspondents . I am , however , much pleased to find in your present Volume , ( p . 317 , ) that my countrymen , at a . late Quarterly

    Meeting of Mmisters in bouth Wales , have been so much impressed with its importance , as to make it a subject of serious discussion ; I hope they will continue their inquiries , that they will favour the public with the result of them , and that they will induce others to imitate their excellent example .

    Lest it should seem that I had intended any disrespect to my highly valued friend Dr . Carpenter , in not noticing his discourse on Divine Influence ( XIV . 545—550 and

    617—622 ) in my last letter , ( XIV . p . 675 , ) I think it proper to state , that that letter was in the hands of the publishers of the Repository before the appearance of the Discourse , but , by some oversight , was not attended to in proper

    time I regret that it was not convenient to Dr . C . to communicate his ideas in a more condensed fornij which would have rendered it more easy to select those points which more particularly bear , on the subject . Dr . C . founds the defence of his

    modified system of Divine Influence upon & . text , df vyhich a free use has beejn made by the orthodox , in defending * tiieir doctrine of Supernatural communieations , viz . P&iil * g advice to the Fhiilp ; pians , ( chap . ii . vers . 12 , 13 , ) ' * Wpirk out your own salvation with fear and trembling y for it is God y ^ Kr ^ roirk ^ b . in you , both to ; will and tdlg ^^ , w « ire endenfty verj ^ strongly impesseyi

    - ferred , that their piety so utterly extinguished their understanding , obserl vation and experience ^ as to reader them incapable of perceiving that the Supreme Being employed means in order to accomplish his purposes . Paul , in his address to the Philippians * could , I think , have intended nothing more than to incite them to diligence in their virtuous course , by the assurance that every thing necessary to enable them both to will and to act properly , had been kindly provided for them , in the favourable circumstances

    of their situation , by that Being "from whom cometh every good and perfect gift . " Dr . C . asserts that * ' no one , who believes in revelation , can doubt that God influences the human heart . ** This is readily admitted , as it follows of

    course , that that Being who acts upon every thing , must act upon the human heart ; and did not Dr . C . insist upon an agency more immediate and particular than this regular operation of general laws , there would not be , between him and me , even a " verbal difference . " But , 1 think , he differs

    from me most essentially , when he maintains that , to the natural operations of the human mind , there are occasionally superadded some phenomena , such as aid , direction , &c , which are derived from some anomalous agency of that Being , who constantly acts by his own fixed laws . It

    appears to me , that we have no more reason to suppose that God ' s influence is immediately applied to the mind of man , than to the * various processes of animal and vegetable life , or , in sho $ , + s * «>* i- *« - r ^ C 4-lv ^ v ' .
