PHILOSOPHYThis science I would call the Mathematic Philosophy of Universals. Without its help we can never hope to arrive at knowledge of the soul for it is philosophy itself be- longing not to the mind but to the soul since the mind must be cultivated all the way to the soul which latter cannot be cultivated or it is the analysis whereby she comprehends her affairs. But because as I have said this science is as yet utterly unknown and will therefore sound perhaps as mat- ter of vain attempt therefore in the abscence of principles first laid down I am unwilling to proclaim in advance its use this only I will say that without its aid we might sooner approach the moon than explore the soul. That it is faith that saves and not works regarded as without being faith is not matter of doubt. But the ques- tion arises whether granting the possibility of exercising works faith without works will save according to the dogma of the Lutherans. prev next |
