Alone we must know so great a treasure
of good things, grace which our inner man
has in faith alone; we know by the word
priesthood doesn't consist in any display.
I find small dignities under that law:
a holy nation, truth, wisdom, salvation,
corporeal power according to the idea
of kings in the experience of life.
So now, in the midst of our enemies,
the freest of all uses various things
for teaching some little drop of belief.
And still this contradictory power system
needs neither laws nor works, but love
attained without eternal understanding.
