Philippians 2:6-7, and it is one of the most frequent quotations in the corpus - about forty lectures - because Neville takes the word slave at full strength. Jesus Christ, who, though in the form of God, emptied himself, taking upon himself the form of a slave, being born in the likeness of men. He did not pretend to become a slave, he became one; he gave up his primal form, his prenatal wholeness, and the slave is your own wonderful human Imagination. What follows is the hardest consequence Neville ever draws from a verse, and he does not soften it. A slave does not question the order given by his master, he only obeys - so today he serves us as indifferently and as quickly when our will is evil as when it is good. He will in the twinkle of an eye conjure the most horrible animalisms in the world and lust at the call of your desire, and it is the same being who conjures the most loving thing in the world, not another being. Let no one tell you that he only serves the good. He had to grant me all the freedom in the world to make mistakes; he couldn't discriminate and say you shouldn't do it. This is what Neville means by the cost God counted: becoming a slave who cannot refuse. And it is what makes the whole teaching morally exposed, which he acknowledges - I acquaint you with God's law and leave you to your choice and its risk.
