Wherefore we see children desire most greatly an apple, and then proceeding further on desire a bird, and then further yet desire fine raiment, and then a horse, and then a woman, and then, riches not great, and then greater and greater. And this befalls because in none of these things it finds that which it goes seeking, and thinks to find ...

What else there might be in Christianity mattered less; and nearly all metaphysical inquiry, even on the Trinity, was neglected ...

It gave definiteness and impressiveness to his best ideals.

You may gather yourself to leap the ditch, and you clear it; but no such muscular energy can be sustained: exhaustion speedily renders further expenditure impossible. But now suppose a very powerful mental impression be made, say the circumstance of a succession of ditches in front, and a mad dog behind: if the stimulus of terror be sufficiently strong, you may leap on till you drop senseless.

The further development was chiefly in connection with the eucharist, which effected in turn the conception of the hierarchy (see below, 50). Baptism was regarded as conferring complete remission of previous sins; subsequent sins were atoned for in the penitential discipline ...
