Even though reason is not the same for everybody, its use is common to all. For a reason to remain idle and unused, in the mind of Baxter, it is equivalent to possessing no reason at all. Nevertheless, I agree with Baxter that the use of reason is of primary importance and that the law of God is reasonable and promotes the happiness of man. However, it only appears reasonable for man under the state of grace. For a man under the state of sin, divine law is irrational and foolish.
