We hold that because we are not under the law, but under grace, there is no condemnation for sin--at least for the special sort of sin which happens to be in fashion, which is now-a-days the sin of making money at all risks. We hold that there is one law of morality for the kingdom of heaven, and another for the kingdom of mammon. Therefore we hold, more and more, that when money is in question anything and everything is fair. There are--we have reason to know it just now but too well--thousands who will sell their honour, their honesty, yea, their own souls, for a few paltry pounds, and think no shame.

1899. Charles Kingsley was an English clergyman and novelist. He was the founding member of the Christian Socialist movement and was known for his controversy with Cardinal Newman. He was a chaplain to Queen Victoria, a rector at Eversley, Hampshire and was sympathetic to the Chartists. Hypatia is another of Kingsley's historical novels. He has in this sketch of Hypatia and her fate, closely followed authentic history, especially Socrates's account of the closing scene. The tradition that she was the wife of Isidore, the philosopher, is rejected, with Gibbon as a palpable anachronism of at least fifty years, contradicted, moreover, by the very author of it, Photius, who says distinctly after comparing Hypatia and Isidore, that Isidore married a certain "Domna."
