Excerpt from Good Life: Extracted From the True Plan of a Living Temple, or Man Considered in His Proper Relation to the Ordinary Occupations and Pursuits of Life
Gence, and negligent self-culture, lies within those boundaries of right and wrong, which are well established and Clearly enough discerned. The extremes of good and ill desert are sufficiently obvious; fences against the public weal must be accurately described, or they could not be brought within the cog nizance of prescribed laws, but/it is an extremely small part of human conduct that can be thus accurately defined. All those duties, which, with no great propri ety of phrase, are said by moralists to be of imperfect obligation, such, for exam ple, as many of our personal and relative duties, our duties to our Maker, in a word, almost all our' conduct as moral and re ligious beings, is, in a great degree, liable to be misunderstood and misinterpreted. Thus Love to God, all will admit, is a duty of primal obligation, and it is no'less Clear that it is to be manifested in express acts of devotion to Him, and in tokens of good-will towards His creatures. But the questions in every individual case.
