Divine Law.

"always, as in our first ancestor before his transgression,
"clear and perfect, unruffled by passions, unclouded by
"prejudice, unimpaired by disease or intemperance,
"the task would be pleasant and easy; we should
"need no other guide but this. But every man now
"finds the contrary in his own experience; that his
"reason is corrupt, and his understanding full of ignorance
and error."

"This has given manifold occasion for the benign
"interposition of divine providence; which in compassion to
"the frailty the imperfection, and the blindeness of
"human reason, hath been pleased, at sundry times,
"and in douer manner, to discover and enforce its'
"laws by an immediate and direct revelation. The
"doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed
or divine law, and they are to be found
"only in the holy scriptures."

God begins of sounds without
"Reason" "discover" "law of nature"
"and prospect" "passions" "corrupt"
. —

I pass over, this ideological god as being
far above my comprehension, this theological :
in which the leading terms, "Reason" — "discover" —
"law of Nature" — "directs" — "clear and perfect" — "passions" —
"corrupt" —.
