If every action which is good or evil in man at ripe years were to be under
pittance, prescription, and compulsion, what were virtue but a name, what
praise could be then due to well doing, what gramercy to be sober, just, or
continent? . . . They are not skilful considerers of human things who
imagine to remove sin, by removing the matter of sin; . . . Suppose we could
expel sin by this means; look how much we thus expel of sin, so much we
expel of virtue: for the matter of them both is the same: remove that, and
ye remove them both alike.

to stamp out a moral evil than by men intent on doing evil."-- Fredrich v
