SECT. VIII.
8. HEre is presupposed before Rest,* 1.1 an Actual Motion; Rest is the end of Motion. No Motion, no Rest. Christianity is not a sedentary profession and employment; Nor doth it consist in meer Negatives. It is for not feeding, not clothing, &c. that Christ condemns. Not doing good, is not the least evil; sitting still will lose you Heaven, as well as if you run from it. It's a great Question, Whether the elicit Acts of the Will are by Motion, or by subitaneous mutation? But its a Logomachy.
