There are some of you, in whom moral, Christian principle Would be so strong as to constrain your wills - no matter how fierce the temptation - within the laws of purity, temperance and sobriety. Thus, though you are free agents, your wills are not free; for there are things, which. You are able to do, yet which you are incapable of willing.
