Reading from Pike and Hayward's Cases of Conscience, 1755 - The affections of the mind may be excited in a merely natural way under divine ordinances. The proof of this point will be best introduced by endeavouring to set be fore you some of those ways, in which mere nature may be impressed or raised under the means of grace. 1. The affections of the mind may be excited by a natural impression. Thus, when a person is attending upon the ministrations of the word, he may find himself moved only by the beauty of the style, or the propriety of the language, or by the loudness or tunableness of the preacher's voice, or the apparent fervency of his address. Such circumstances as these may move the affections in a way purely mechanical, without being attended with any spiritual or saving effects; for hereby only animal nature is touched, or the speculative powers employed, in a pleasing or disagreeable way.
