ABSTRACT

There is only one true ground on which to look for that love which is wanted to satisfy the divine nature in God or man. It is all one, one unvarying principle from which spring ever-varying manifestations. The one invariable principle is indeed the spring of other invariable principles adapted to various modes of being. All, however, there is reason to believe, will prove traceable to one will – the will for the greatest degree and the highest kind of well-being which are possible without admitting of any contradictory volitions in the mode of effecting it. The word 'matter' invariably implies limit. The study of matter is the study of various kinds and degrees of limit, and of the development of these towards the unlimited. See the wisdom and benevolence of the Spirit of the Universe. This spirit wills the same co-existences, the same successions through eternity. This we call law. Hence springs infinite variety.
