    Author

    Thomas Taylor

    The translator of this work, Thomas Taylor, is known for his authoritative translations of the Platonists; he was practically the sole source of Neo-Platonic thought in the transcendentalist movement of New England. Iamblichus' Life of Pythagoras was a constant source of inspiration to the transcendentalists and a major influence on their writings throughout the Nineteenth Century. Taylor's work was enthusiastically acclaimed by Emerson, who referred to the translator as "a Greek born out of his time, and dropped on the ridicule of a blind and frivolous age."

      Text

      If it is so, nothing can come to pass but what he hath ordained.

      This doctrine makes the day of judgment past.

      It contradicts the plain word of God.

      It has a tendency to render all means useless.

      It makes promises and threatenings useless.

      It is contrary to every attribute in the Deity.

      It contradicts common sense.

      It has a tendency to licentiousness.

      It makes the God of all grace and goodness worse than the devil.

      If the unconditional decree be a true doctrine, then there is no such thing as sin in the world.

      TO

      THE REV. JOHN WESLEY.

      Reverend Sir,

      THE author of the following strictures hopes your candour will pardon his addressing you in this public manner. Who he is, or what he is, signifies very little; only he begs leave to intimate, that he hopes he is a follower of that Saviour who gave himself a ransom for all. He was convinced when young in years, in a great measure, by reading Alleine’s Alarm; and the Calvinists being the only professing people near him, he soon got acquainted with them, and was, for some time, in their connexion. Being young in years, experience, and knowledge, he saw with their eyes, and heard with their ears; yet not without many scruples concerning the truth of several of their tenets. Sometimes he proposed his doubts, yet seldom had much satisfaction; but rather was a little brow-beaten for being muddy-headed. He often paused, and pondered, and read, and rubbed his head, and wondered what he ailed. Cole on God’s Sovereignty was put into his hands to clear his dull head, and make him quite orthodox; but still he could not see how God could be just in condemning men for exactly doing what he had decreed them to do. After many conflicts, your little piece, entitled, Predestination Calmly Considered fell into his hands; he read it over with that attention which both the doctrine and performance deserve; and never had a doubt, from that day to this, that God is loving to every man. You will, dear sir,
