Some of the most general of these principles of morality are: that God, having made all things for Himself, made our minds to know Him and our hearts to love Him; that being as powerful and as just as He is, we cannot be happy unless we follow His orders, nor unhappy if we follow them; that our nature is corrupt, our minds depend on our bodies, our reason on our senses, our will on our passions; that we are powerless to do what we clearly see to be our duty, and that we need a liberator.
