Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Province of the Intellect in Religion, Vol. 4: Deduced From Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount, and Considered With Reference to Prevalent Errors; The Seventh Chapter of St. Matthew, Considered as That Entire Christian Law of Rest, or of Spiritual Discernment and Holy Energy So far as our examination of the seventh chapter of St. Matthew has hitherto proceeded, we have observed a definite and peculiar character in the Laws which it contains. Thus for example, the Commandment in the Sixth verse of this chapter, Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you, was found to furnish an addition to the two previous Laws, of giving to those who ask of us (v. And of giving to them as before God and not as before men (vi. 4) such as makes this special Body of Law intelligibly complete, and determines for us finally and effectually the whole matter Of giving, in its genuine Christian aspect. We further perceived a difference of character between this third Law and the two which precede it, no less real than that which obtains between the first and second: the first determining the thing to be done; the second, the right way of doing it; whilst the third presents the real or spiritual grounds on which it ought to be done.
