In other words, just as it would not befit the majesty of a mortal king to avail itself to a petitioner or subject whose approach, in its casualness or its lack of appreciation for the moment, could be regarded as a discourtesy, or an absence of goodwill, the majesty of providence, infinitely greater in comparison, is bound to remain inaccessible to any who fail to meet it with the humility of a child, or a creature that is aware of its dependence on a benevolence that is greater than itself. For, if such were not the case, and a person could wrest from the seat of divinity that which he or she sought, merely by some inward directive of their will, faith could then arise from those conditions of egotism that are anathema to it, which is an impossibility.
