To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Action im- mediately about him he could limn truly. But he had not the comprehensiveness to see whither the age was tending.
WILLOUGHBY. How admirable is that reply of Luther's ; an unanswerable rebuke of that presumptuous mysticism which would boastfully tear aside the veil and dare a converse face to face with God. Semele perishes. That the fanatic survives is proof that he has hut embraced a cloud.
ATHERTON. A rebuke, rather, of that folly, in all its forms, VOL. II. E 50 Theosophy in the Ag...e of the Refonnalion. [u. V:u.
which imagines itself the subject of a special revelation that is no fearful searching of the soul, but merely a flattering reflec- tion of its own wishes.
GOWER. And what can most men make of that milder form of the same ambition I mean the exhortation to escape all image and figure ? How else can we grasp spiritual realities ? The figurative language in which religious truth is conveyed to us seems to me to resemble that delicate membrane gummed to the back of the charred papyrus-roll, which otherwise would crumble to pieces in unwinding.
