    • 1806, Joshua Pickersgill, The Three Brothers: A Romance‎, John Stockdale, page 128:
      Such is the almightiness of habit, that it can overcome the original disposition, even when it be fortified by the force of precept; then how much more easily so unprincipled a mind as the Chevalier's?

      The mere assumption of a doubt for the purpose of the inquiry, is painful to him, for it presents to his mind illimitable space, dark, desolate and blank; void of the benignity, the almightiness and the perfect intelligence of the Supreme, and his own existence as a transient flame, and his moral constitution and sense of obligation and duty merely as machinery vainly to regulate his actions to which there are to be no corresponding consequences.
