Excerpt from Discipline: And Other Sermons I say, of freedom. NO nation of those days, we have reason to believe, enjoyed a freedom comparable to that of the Old Jews. They were, to use our modern phrase, the only constitutional people Of the East. The burdensomeness Of Moses' law, ere it was overlaid, in later days, by Rabbinical scrupu losity, has been much exaggerated. In its simpler form, in those early times, it left every man free to do, as we are expressly told, that which was right in his own eyes, in many most important matters. Little seems to have been demanded of the Jews, save those simple ten commandments, which we still hold to be necessary for all civilized society.

There are many ways, I think, in which we may be helped by the study of those passages in the history of the English Church which seem to have been characterized by especial elements of difficulty and distress. For so we may be taught to take a truer measure of the troubles and imperfections and anxieties of our own day; to see how hopefully a man may try to deal with them, and to do his work in spite of much that he would fain have otherwise; refusing to let the wholesome sense of urgency degenerate into the weakness of panic or fretful impatience. Again, we may thus deepen our loyalty and our love towards the Church, which in such trials has evinced her God-given power of endurance and advance, and, holding her course through the dimness and the storm has emerged with surer strength of experience and self-realization for whatever still remains to be undertaken or endured. But we may also learn a lesson which will bear more directly on our own conduct, helping us to bestow aright whatever of effort, labour, service, and self-sacrifice we may have to contribute to the setting forward of God's cause in our own age. For plainly every one of us may, if he will, do something, be it much or little, towards making that which will be the history of our generation; and the abiding worth of whatever he can do will depend, perhaps, mainly on his just discernment of the chief issues that are being either decided or kept open in his day; on his correcting in his own mind the misplaced emphasis of common talk and controversy; on his throwing whatever strength he has into the real, and not the merely apparent crisis of the perpetual conflict between truth and error, between good and evil, or...
