My endeavour has been to show the inconsistencies into which men are led, by unfounded pretensions to a state of perfectability,[2] and an acquaintance with the inscrutable workings of Providence, (which all experience proves to be unattainable by man;) to show that such lofty aspirations are not in accordance with the genuine principles of the religion of Jesus Christ; and that it is by a submissive acquiescence in the measure of knowledge communicated, and an anxious endeavour to fulfil the obligations it imposes, rather than by curious researches into hidden things, that we best perform our duties here; and as no intelligent mind among you can believe that the suggestions of infinite wisdom are ever contradictory, it was part of my plan to show the inconsistencies in the doctrines of the great leader of the illuminati of your society. keywords: belief; christian; divine; footnote; god; letter; man; men; mind; page; reason; religion; scriptures; sermons; society; spirit; state; subject; things; truth; worship cache: 58078.txt plain text: 58078.txt item: #384 of 428 id: 58213 author: Anonymous title: The Rosary date: None words: 8157 flesch: 73 summary: This Plenary Indulgence may be gained EACH TIME the visit is repeated, from the first Vespers of the feast (that is, from about 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon) until midnight of Rosary Sunday.
