Nevertheless, _the fact or actual truth having been assured to us by
Revelation_, it is not impossible, by stedfast meditation on the idea

that our redemption is even negatively _conceivable_ only on the
supposition of) an agent who can at once act _on_ the Will as an
exciting cause, _quasi ab extra_; and _in_ the Will, as the
_condition_ of its potential, and the _ground_ of its actual, being.
