Description
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Senior Class in Divinity College, Cambridge, Sunday Evening, 15 July, 1838
The intuition of the moral sentiment. 18 an insight of the perfection of the laws of the soul. These laws execute themselves; They are out. Of time, out of space, and not subject to circumstance. Thus; in the soul of man there is a justice whose retributions are instant and. Entire. He who does a good deed, is instantly ennobled himself. He (who does a mean deed, is by the action itself contracted. He who puts off impurity, thereby puts on purity. If a man is at heart just, then in so far. Is he God; the safety of God, the.immortality,of God, the majesty of God do enter into that man with justice. If a man dissemble, deceive, he deceives himself, and goes out of acquaintance with his own being. A man in the view of absolute goodness, adores, with total humility. Every step so downward, is a step upward. The man who. Renounces himself, comes to himself by so doing.
