And one can, without being hypocritical, say quite truthfully about the moral teaching of the Gospel that, by the purity of its moral principle but at the same time by the appropriateness of this principle to the limits of finite beings, it first subjected all good conduct of human beings to the discipline of a duty laid before their eyes which does not let them ro among fancied moral perfections and set limits of humility (i.e., of self cognition) to self conceit as well as to self love, both of which readily fail to recognize their bounds.
