In his writings io n;"^ to Edwards, he held "that men tbemselvet tw ti only efficient causes of their own volitions; Ot-ri they always determine according to the gresteft r- parent good; the affections do not follow ^j"|^ ment ; men sin against light, with the wiser cW& the greater good full in their view. Through the ia> petuosity of their passions, they determine o^oaie tk greatest apparent good. This is the case wkb e^ sinner who resolves to delay repentance to t tt^ time. Self-determination is the characteristic dmP moral agent. The al>8once of liberty be deemds- consistent with moral agency ; and by libertj * meant, not merely liberty in regard to the ttXersL action, but liberty of volition ; an exemption fim C circumstances and causes having a controlling atr ence over the will — a self-determining power rfwi as a real agent, in respect to his own voUtiottf.

DANCE
Dance. This act Is usuallj denoted in Heb. by ae form of b^n, chul, which literally signifies to St (and is often applied to vrriihing under pain, as of th, or trembling under fear), and hence probably re- 8 to the whirling motions of the Oriental sacred ices (Judg. xxi, 21, 23 ; Psa. xxx, 11 ; cxlix, 8 ; cl, Jer. xxxi, 4, 13 ; Lam. v, 15 ; Exod. xv, 20 ; xxxii, ; Judg. xi, 84 ; 1 Sam. xviii, 6 ; xxi, 21 ; xxix, 5 ; nt. vi, 13). A similar idea of moving in a circle is llcally contained in the word AJH, chagag\ trunsla- l " dancing" in 1 Sam. xxx, 16. Another term thus idered (Ecdes. iii, 4 , Job xxi, 11 ; Isa. xiii, 21 ; 1 iron. XV, 29) is ^p*^, rakad\ which simply means skip or leap for joy, as it is elsewhere rendered, and nearly equivalent to a fourth term thus translated Sam. vi, 14, 16), *TH3, karar\ which means to jump
