DESCRIPTION: This is certain, as to a demonstration of infused habits, that if there be none, if there is no moment wherein truly [saving]... infused... degrees... as all... habits gradually increase, so that there must be some wicked men in... perfection... to be... good, as to... good... to inexpressible happiness.

Now it is certain that [in] every man that becomes good, there is a last moment of his being bad and a first moment of his being good, a last moment of his being in a state of damnation and a first moment of his being in a state of salvation; or thus, there is a time before which if he had died but one moment, he would have gone to hell, and after which if he had died but one moment, he would have gone to heaven: this is self-evident. Or, which is all one, he is made immensely a better man in a moment than he was before; which being allowed, it is also self-evident that the notion of acquired habits is wrong. So that it is evident to a metaphysical demonstration, that one of these things is true of that man that is become good: either there was a time wherein if he had died he would neither have gone to heaven nor hell, that is, neither to great happiness nor great misery; or else the future state is not according to men's goodness or badness here; or else, there are infused habits. - WJE 13:168-69
