A faith existed before it, which was its source. It grew out of superstitious teaching and mistaken tradition. T. Matsugami. "Makoto wo moté KAMI NO MICHI wo oshiyuréba nari." "Ware wa Micni nuri, Mukoto nari, Inochi nari." John xiv. 6. The New Testament in Japanese. "The Kojiki" mid its Myths of Cosmogony.

In view of the paramount importance thus attached to purity, a celebrated couplet of ancient times is often quoted as the unique and complete canon of Shinto morality, *His nails were extracted and his beard was plucked out. "Unsought in prayer, "The gods will guard "The pure of heart."* *Kokoro dani Makoto no michi ni Kanai naba Inorazu tote mo Kami ya mamoran.
