s; with large and
perverted Cautiousness, mingles fear and dread with worship; with large
Constructiveness and Causality, admires the system of his architectural
plans, contrivances, etc.: p. 148.
[Illustration: No. 75. LARGE.]
[Illustration: No. 76. SMALL.]
VERY LARGE.--Experiences these feelings in a still higher degree; places
God as supreme upon the throne of the soul, and makes his worship a
central verge; manifests extreme fervor, anxiety, and delight in divine
worship, and is pre-eminently fervent in prayer; with moderate
Self-Esteem, and large Conscientiousness and Cautiousness, and a
disordered temperament, experiences the utmost unworthiness and guiltiness
in his sight, and is crushed by a sense of guilt and vileness, especially
before God, yet should never cherish these feelings; is always dreading
the wrath of Heaven, no matter whether the actions are good or ill; and
should cultivate religious cheerfulness and hope of future happiness. For
additional combinations, see large: p. 149.
FULL.--Experiences a good degree of religious worship, whenever
circumstances excite this faculty, yet allows the larger faculties
frequently to divert it, and prays at least internally; with large or very
large Conscience or Benevolence, will place his religion in doing right
and doing good, more than in religious observances; will esteem duties
higher than ceremonies; with large propensities, may be devout upon the
Sabbath, yet will be worldly through the week, and experience some
conflict between his religious and his worldly aspirations: p. 149.
AVERAGE.--Will adore the Deity, yet often makes religion subservient to
the larger faculties; with large Adhesiveness, Benevolence, and
Conscience, may love religious meetings because it meets friends, and
prays for the good of mankind, or because duty requires their attendance;
yet is not habitually and innately devotional, except when this faculty is
excited: p. 147.
MODERATE.--Will not be particularly devout or worshipful; with large
Benevolence and Conscientiousness, if religiously educated, may be
religious, yet will place religion more in works than faith, in duty than
in prayer, and be more moral than pious; in his prayers will supplicate
blessings upon mankind; and with Conscientiousness large, will confess sin
more than express an awe of God; with large reflectives, can worship no
further than it sees a _reason_; with moderate Spirituality and
Conscientiousness,
