than it was before; doubtless, it was raised to the
utmost degree of fierceness that human art could raise it. But the great
God is also willing to show his wrath, and magnify his awful majesty and
mighty power in the extreme sufferings of his enemies. Rom. 9:22. "What
if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured
with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction?"
And seeing this is his design, and what he has determined, even to show
how terrible the unrestrained wrath, the fury and fierceness of Jehovah
is, he will do it to effect. There will be something accomplished and
brought to pass that will be dreadful with a witness. When the great and
angry God hath risen up and executed his awful vengeance on the poor
sinner, and the wretch is actually suffering the infinite weight and
power of his indignation, then will God call upon the whole universe to
behold that awful majesty and mighty power that is to be seen in it.
Isa. 33:12-14. "And the people shall be as the burnings of lime, as
thorns cut up shall they be burnt in the fire. Hear ye that are far off,
what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might. The
sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites,"
&c. Thus it will be with you that are in an unconverted state, if you
continue in it; the infinite mig

thing, except for itself and to
subject it to self, because each thing loves itself more than all. But, in
loving the body, it loves itself, because it only exists in it, by it, and
for it. Qui adhaeret Deo unus spiritus est.76
The body loves the hand; and the hand, if it had a will, should love itself
in the same way as it is loved by the soul. All love which goes beyond this
is unfair.
Adhaerens Deo unus spiritus est. We love ourselves, because we are members
of Jesus Christ. We love Jesus Christ, because He is the body of which we
are members. All is one, one is in the other, like the Three Persons.
484. Two laws suffice to rule the whole Christian Republic better than all
the laws of statecraft.
485. The true and only virtue, then, is to hate self (for we are hateful on
account of lust) and to seek a truly lovable being to love. But as we cannot
love what is outside ourselves, we must love a being who is in us and is not
ourselves; and that is true of each and all men. Now, only the Universal
Being is such. The kingdom of God is within us; the universal good is within
us, is ourselves--and not ourselves.
486. The dignity of man in his innocence consisted in using and having
dominion over the creatures, but now in separating himself from them and
subjecting himself to them.
487. Every religion is false which, as to its faith, does not worship one
God as the origin of everything and which, as to its morality, does not love
one only God as the object of everything.
488.... But it is impossible that God should ever be the end, if He is not
the beginning. We lift our eyes on high, but lean upon the sand; and the
earth will dissolve, and we shall fall whilst looking at the heavens.
489. If there is one sole source of everything, there is one sole end of
everything; everything through Him, everything for Him. The true religion,
then, must teach us to worship Him only, and to love Hi
