The Divinity School Address - Delivered Before the Senior Class in Divinity College, Cambridge, Sunday Evening, July 15, 1838 #221887

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.
