"SUCH as duly consider the value of peace to society, must needs have a high esteem of it, which naturally tends to excite proportional desire and labour; but without divine influence, we neither have an affecting view of things, or an ability to act with right principles and designs: a few peaceable moods and kind offices cannot constitute a Peacemaker, for this includes the governing temper of the soul and general course of the conduct, these and nothing transient, evidence the state of the mind, and determine the character."
This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
