But do not let the suggestions of timidity overpower your better reason: the danger of neglect can be
but as the probability of the obligation, which, when you consider it with freedom, you find very little, and
that little growing every day less. Open your heart to the influence of the light which from time to time
breaks in upon you; when scruples importune you, which you in your lucid moments know to be vain, do
not stand to parley, but fly to business, or to Pekuah, and keep this thought always prevalent, that you
are only one atom of the mass of humanity, and have neither such virtue nor vice, as that you should be
singled out for supernatural favours or afflictions.
