PJROVIDENOE. 255 



God absolutely dwells, in his integral and personal capacity, as 

 in a temple; and therefore such a being is God in his focalized 

 capacity as adapted to a direct conjunction with humanity. 

 All that authentic history informs us of the character, actions, 

 and teachings of Jesus goes to justify the belief that he was 

 such a divinely human and humanly divine personage. 



It should be observed, that a perfectly pure and sinless in- 

 telligence, such as is here conceived, must, as viewed in a 

 human aspect, stand at the very apex of visible creation, or at 

 that point in a grand seven- fold circle of existence at which 

 endings merge into beginnings. Hence, the Divine Soul, 

 focalizing in all its harmoniously combined principles, in such 

 a being, would maintain the same relations to inferior physi- 

 cal constitutions, and to all outer physical substances which 

 lie within his sphere, as the Divine Being in his whole infini- 

 tude, sustains to the physical universe as a whole. Hence the 

 Divinity, in this focalized capacity, would maintain toward all 

 things within his sphere, the relations of a New Beginning 

 Principle ; and if God in his infinitude, as the Beginning Prin- 

 ciple of the universe as a whole, could, from his free volition, 

 make and unmake laws to govern the present system of things, 

 then God, in the condescended form of his personal Being as 

 manifested through a suitable human organism at the end of 

 an old, and the beginning of a new creation, may, in equal 

 consistency with the rules of Divine order, establish new laws, 

 or rather ent immensely higher degrees of old ones, as 

 relating to such existences within his sphere as need such in- 

 terference. There is nothing irrational in the supposition, 

 therefore, that the Divinely human, or humanly Divine Prin- 

 ciple (which are one and the same), could, by volition through 

 the outer organism which served as its medium, -concentrate 

 its vital energies upon the diseased bodies of man, and even
