Note (return) — Rev. ANDREW LEE, A.M. (continued 5)
Reading edition
If the manifest rectitude, and moral necessity of the divine decisions, will then satisfy the righteous, and their greater love to God reconcile them to the execution of his judgments on all the impenitent, why not as soon as they shall have put off the remains of depravity, and become "the spirits of the just made perfect?" THOSE in glory are doubtless acquainted with the moral state of the world —"There is joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth." [98]
