The highest and most influential sanctions of government are those measures that most fully reveal the true character of God. The rule for graduating the Sanctions of Law. God has laid the foundations of the natural sanctions of Law, deep in the constitution of moral beings. Therefore the natural Sanctions of law will always and necessarily be proportioned to the perfection of obedience and disobedience. Governmental sanctions should always be graduated by the importance of the precept.
Moral law is a unit.
Every sin is a violation of the eternal law of love, and its reward should be equal to the value of the precept. The Sanction of moral law should therefore in every case, be equal to the value of the eternal and unalterable law of benevolence, or as near its value as the nature of the case will admit.
