s had been given him to make him think us so. That
must stand over. How many human Misapprehensions must do the same!
Enough that one Eye sees all, that one Spirit knows all . . . even all
our Misdoings; or else, how could we bear to tell Him even the least of
them? But it requires great Faith in the greatly wronged, to obtain
that Calm of Mind, all Passion spent, which some have arrived at. When
we can stand firm on that Pinnacle, _Satan_ falls prone. He sets us on
that dizzy Height, as he did our Master; saying, in his taunting
Fashion,--
"There stand, if thou canst stand; to stand upright
Will ask thee Skill;"
but the Moment he sees we can, down he goes himself!--falls whence he
stood to see his Victor fall! This is what Man has done, and Man may
do,--and Woman too; the Strength, for asking, being promised and given.
