To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The internal is the real man. The external some- times acts in harmony with the internal, and some- times does not. "We know from our own experience, from observation and history, that the internal and real character gradually gains the ascendancy even in this world, and brings the external, and even the body, into conformity with it to some extent. Vice graves its ugly lineaments on the face so clearly, that every one can see them. The habitual exercise of a pure and good affection, changes ev...en a homely face into its own likeness. This work must continue to go on until the external and internal become one, and the whole being is perfectly homogeneous. Every one can see that no one could enter heaven until this perfect unity between the external and the internal was effected. This external man is not the material body. We carry it with us when we go into the spiritual world, and when we arc first raised up we can pretend to be what we are not. The hypocrite is a hypocrite still ; and though a wolf in nature, he may and would try to deceive others by putting on the sheep's clothing of goodness and truth.
