I imagine WJ might write differently, if he met some of the not-so-humble-and-tender fundamentalists of this epoch in America… the ones who think their "deep state" savior is a grifting, lying, pathologically narcissistic real estate mogul. They've clearly been affected by a different sort of modification.
"…in Christians of different epochs it is always one and the same modification by which they are affected: there is veritably a single fundamental and identical spirit of piety and charity, common to those who have received grace; an inner state which before all things is one of love and humility, of infinite confidence in God, and of severity for one's self, accompanied with tenderness for others."
