To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The feeling itself is perfectly explicable if we turn to the doctrines of the faith. For God is presented as a Holy God, and man as a fallen and guilty creature. What wonder is it that a guilty being, alienated by natural affection, and looking up to this Just Deity as a criminal looks at a strict judge, should think of Him with terror, and shrink from Him in pain- ful dislike 1 If the dogmas of the character of God and the guilty condition of man be true, the feeling could not be otherwise. Bu...t suppose a criminal should plead that the law under which he is condemned shocks his feelings, and the very T 2 276 Conscience, and its relation to the Faith. [Lect. aspect of the judge contradicts his notions of the fitness of things ; woulcf the feeling change the tre- mendous circumstances of his position, as hanging on the judge's lips he hears the dreadful sentence con- signing him to a grave? Should the sinner plead that the idea of a God of justice and an eternal hell shocks his conscience and contradicts his feel- ing of right and wrong ; would not the answer be that this is very natural under his circumstances, but that it will neither change the facts nor reverse the sentence ?
