To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For " the pure in heart shall see God," we must substitute " shall see a regulative representation of God:" and that regulative representation will be equally seen by the pure and by the impure. We can no longer believe that depth and keenness of spiritual insight will increase with purity of life. The eye of a St. Paul can pierce no further into a symbol than the eye of any other man. Here, I venture to think, is a notable omission in Mr. ManseFs philosophy, and not in Mr. Mansel's philosophy ...alone. The hand and the eye of God are not " regulative representations " but figures ; as it is a figure when we speak of ourselves as seeing with our minds ; and all " objections " to the use of the term figure in these cases are swallowed up in the fact that it alone expresses the truth. The wisdom^ the justice^ the mercy J the hve of God are not figures, but realities, on which our moral life depends ; and to confound them with things which are figures, by including all under the common name of "regulative representations," is a course which may have its advantages to a philosophical mind, but the advan-^ tages of which are swallowed up in the fact that it is fraught with most pernicious falsehood.
