Excerpt from A Systematic View of the Science "Si a Spiritus Legibus ita se mortale genus regi sineret, ut humanis pr?ceptis nihil indigeret, id vero et decorum et salutare esset; at quoniam se ad Spiritus sublimitatem elevare Divin?que Legis vocem amplecti non cujusque est, ac vero quos huc Virtus ducat numero valde pauci sunt, bene sese adhuc res haberet si saltem secundum Leges Humanas viveretur." Leo. Nov: LXXXIII. "If Mankind would suffer themselves to be guided by the Laws of the Spirit, so as to need no commandments of men, that were seemly and healthful indeed; but since it is not everyone who can lift himself to the sublime heights of the Spirit and take in the accents of Divine Law, and since they whom Virtue leads hither are few indeed, it were still well if life were passed in obedience to Human Laws."
