'Let him alone, Ma, Miss Lavvy interposed with haughtiness. 'It is indifferent to me what he says or does. 'Nay, Lavinia, quoth Mrs Wilfer, 'this touches the blood of the family. If Mr George Sampson attributes, even to my youngest daughter 'Peace! said Mrs Wilfer, solemnly.
Those are rash and dangerous expressions, whereunto some have been led astray to the discredit of the attributes of God. For if such were the case there would be no reason for praising his goodness and his justice: rather would it be as if the most wicked spirit, the Prince of evil genii, the evil principle of the Manichaeans, were the sole master of the universe, just as I observed before.
The conclusion is, that wherever the attributes of kingship are found, that of mortality is found also.
Who, even when the tomb is closing upon the remains of her he most loved, when he feels his heart, as it were, crushed in the closing of its portal, would accept of consolation that must be bought by forgetfulness? No, the love which survives the tomb is one of the noblest attributes of the soul.

"A mechanical virtue," he would say, "is no virtue at all."
Otherwise it is the thing over again, or it is the definition of the thing and the explanation of the name, and signifies that the thing is composed of these elements. If we say God has many attributes, it will follow that there are many eternals.
Again, I maintain that matter, though it may be in the future eternal, was created by God with the most marvellous affinities, leading to complex definite compounds, and with polarities leading to beautiful crystals, etc., etc. You cannot prove that matter would necessarily possess these attributes.
