[398] Dr. Ogden, in his second sermon On the Articles of the Christian Faith, with admirable acuteness thus addresses the opposers of that Doctrine, which accounts for the confusion, sin and misery, which we find in this life:  ’It would be severe in GOD, you think, to degrade us to such a sad state as this, for the offence of our first parents:  but you can allow him to place us in it without any inducement.  Are our calamities lessened for not being ascribed to Adam?  If your condition be unhappy, is it not still unhappy, whatever was the occasion? with the aggravation of this reflection, that if it was as good as it was at first designed, there seems to be somewhat the less reason to look for its amendment.’  BOSWELL.

Ann.  Reg. 1793, p. 40.  When these sentences were brought before the House of Commons, Mr. Fox said that it was ’the Lord-Advocate’s fervent wish that his native principles of justice should be introduced into this
