- We have here the simple, homely, prudential aspects of virtue, which have always been particularly powerful on certain ages and classes.
- These laws of life that work for our health and wealth loom, however, into mystic and sacred forms, as of the laws heavenly and eternal, whose "seat is the bosom of God."
- The Law thus mystic and sacred is seen to be both the law of nature and the law of the human soul.
- The Bible leads us on to that sense of sin, in the presence of this "Law," which no lower thought of law can quicken.
- The Bible wakens in the breast of man an ethical passion for the ideal and eternal law, which, apart from early Buddhism, has no parallel in history.

- The Bible leads this sense of Law into that awful vision wherein "Conscious Law is King of kings."
- God speaks in a man.

"The Gospel doth not so much consist in verbis as in virtute."
