Dawn Light 4.5

"For in the realm of conscience

naught but the ray of God's light can command,

and on the throne of the heart

none but the pervading power

of the King of Kings should rule.

Thus it is that one can arrest

and suspend [the action of]

every faculty except thought and reflection;

for a man cannot even by his own volition

withhold himself from reflection or thought,

nor keep back his musings and imaginings."
