Introduction
Section 1: Assurances of Faith
p1: “Human things must be known . . .” This may have been adapted from Blaise Pascal’s The Art of Persuasion: ” I do not speak here of divine truths, which I shall take care not to comprise under the art of persuasion, because they are infinitely superior to nature: God alone can place them in the soul and in such a way as it pleases him. I know that he has desired that they should enter from the heart into the mind, and not from the mind into the heart, to humiliate that proud power of reasoning that pretends to the right to be the judge of the things that the will chooses; and to cure this infirm will which is wholly corrupted by its filthy attachments. And thence it comes that whilst in speaking of human things, we say that it is necessary to know them before we can love them, which has passed into a proverb, (1) the saints on the contrary say in speaking of divine things that it is necessary to love them in order to know them, and that we only enter truth through charity, from which they have made one of their most useful maxims.” Note 1: Ignoti nulla cupido—”We do not desire what we do not know.” See Wikipedia: Blaise Pascal.
This has also been associated with 1 John 4:8 “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

Section 8: The Evidences of Religion
p2: moral judgment(s) is used three times: (102:8.2), (103:2.8), and (133:1.4). ethical standard(s) is used once: (102:8.2).
p4: Original printing, “Ethics is the eternal social or racial mirror which faithfully reflects the otherwise unobservable progress of internal spiritual and religious developments.” SRT version, “Ethics is the external social or racial mirror which faithfully reflects the otherwise unobservable progress of internal spiritual and religious developments.” Explanation, “Changing eternal to external on the basis of an assumed dropped keystroke in the original, makes the sentence not only clear in meaning–by resolving the problem of the otherwise completely opaque “Ethics is the eternal…mirror..”–but also reveals a contrastive point: visible external behavior vs. unobservable internal developments, which is completely absent from the original.”
