The Christian Baptist, 1828, Vol. 6: Published Monthly

Excerpt from The Christian Baptist, 1828, Vol. 6: Published Monthly
The government belonged to the spirit; its ministers were the passions, and the whole body moved in subordination to these. 2 So intimate were the soul and spirit in all their acts and move J ments, that they became perfectly identified with each other, and the one term became the representative of both - as one family name represents both husband and wife. But while contemplating man in his first state, we must call in all the helps we have to con. Ceive of him in accordance with his primitive dignity. As a perfect being, then, his reason, his passions, and his appetites existed in the most regular and harmonious connexion with each other. Their natural and necessary dependence was duly felt and acknow ledged; and their subordination was founded in perfect reason.
