• One mustn't make the Christian life into a punctilious system of law, like the Jewish, [for] two reasons.  (1) It raises scruples when we don't keep the routine.  (2)  It raises presumption when we do.  Nothing gives one a more spuriously good conscience than keeping rules, even if there has been a total absence of all real charity and faith.
