144. Although the freedom of doing good and the freedom of doing evil appear alike in the outward form, they are as different, and as far removed from each other, as heaven is from hell. The freedom of doing good is also from heaven, and is called heavenly freedom; but the freedom of doing evil is from hell, and is called infernal freedom. So far also as a man is in the one, so far he is not in the other; for no man can serve two masters (Matt. vi. 24). The same also appears from this consideration, that not to be allowed to will evil and to think falsity at their good pleasure, is believed by those who are in infernal freedom to be bondage and compulsion; while those who are in heavenly liberty shudder at willing evil and thinking falsity, and if compelled to do so, they would feel tortured.
