I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad - as contrasted with the narrow boundaries of human standards of perfection. I have seen no human thing so complete that it did not in some point come short: thy commandment alone is infinite and unchangeable. There is no bound to its perfection. It describes the whole state of the Church and the world, past, present, and to come, and all that is to be believed and to be done for salvation.
