To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is remorse, in ***' which a man constantly accuses and condemns him- self. The second is the expression of disapproba- tion by others without any act of will put forth towards us. They may do, and we may fear, no hostile act, but the Jook of mingled displeasure and sorrow is felt and remembered with a pang, and this feeling will increase with the excellence and dignity of the being, and if we have wronged him personally, with his kindness and love towards us. A third source of suffering to... us as moral beings is from a direct act of will withdrawing from us con- ditions of good, and inflicting upon us positive evil. To avoid each of these, to avoid simple suffering even, would be a suitable motive ; but it is not by the fear of suffering that moral creatures can, or ought to be governed. Not so does God or any wise man seek to govern them, but by the fear of penalty. It is by the moral nature alone that suf- fering can be known as penalty, and hence it is to that nature, and to no ignoble and unworthy fear, that penalty appeals.
