Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Enquiry Into the Doctrines of Necessity and Predestination: In Four Discourses Preached Before the University of Oxford, With Notes, an Appendix Seventeenth Article of the Church of England A small treatise by the late Mr. Dawson of Sedbergh, published about twenty years ago, suggested to me the leading argument of the First of these Discourses. It is entitled 'The Doctrine of Philosophical Necessity briefly invalidated.' The author lays down three axioms, as the foundation of his reasoning. I. 'If we make a false supposition, and reason justly from it, a contradiction or absurdity will be contained in the conclusion.' II. 'Every action or exertion voluntarily made is with a design, or in hopes of obtaining some end.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
