The Light of Nature could direct Seneca to this Doctrine, in a very remarkable Passage among his Epistles: Sacer inest in nobis spiritus bonorum malorumque custos, et Observator, et quemadmodum nos illum tractamus, ita et ille nos .

Huic quoque, nec genti nec sectae noxius ulli, Sit sacer orbis amor, miseris qui semper adesse Gestiat, et, nullo pietatis limite clausus, Cunctorum ignoscat vitiis, pictate fruatur.

Imitating Horace, who relates of himself Me tabulà sacer Votivâ paries indicat uvida

Ardeat huic toto sacer ignis pectore, possit Ut vitam, poscat si res, impendere vero.
