37. ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNMENT.

1. Reason always practises non-assertion, and there is nothing that remains undone.

p. 99

2. If princes and kings could keep Reason, the ten thousand creatures would of themselves be reformed. While being reformed they might yet be anxious to stir; but I would restrain them by the simplicity of the Ineffable.

3. "The simplicity of the unexpressed
Will purify the heart of lust.
Is there no lust there will be rest,
And all the world will thus be blest."
