Man’s Pride of Reason Cited Against Divine Mystery
A lengthy discourse argues that free will and human reason tempt pride, contrasting earthly riches health and intellect with divine revealed truth. It cites St John and the Incarnation, warns against presuming to comprehend God, and celebrates humility central to Christian doctrine amid reflections on Paradise, creation, and Christ’s birth. Local notes report mournings and civic events at St James's, ward elections, and clergy livings.
