6. Гордость защищает не только себя, но и все другие грехи человека, потому что она ненавидит укоризну и отталкивает лечение, она прячет и оправдывает грех. Сознание греха, смиряющее человека, полезнее, чем доброе дело, раздувающее его гордость.
6. Pride defends not only itself but all of a man’s other sins as well, because it hates reproach and pushes away the cure; it hides and justifies sin. A consciousness of sin that humbles a man is more useful than a good deed that puffs up his pride.
From A Christian Directory · joined by Tolstoy from several places (more).
What Tolstoy read · The Message of Man: A Book of Ethical Scriptures, gathered by Stanton CoitPride is the defence, not only of itself, …
A fault which humbles a man is of more use to him than a good action which puffs him up with pride.
Source text: archive.orgBaxter’s own wordsPride is the defence not only of itself, but of every other sin in the heart or life. For it hateth reproof and keepeth off the remedy; it hideth, and extenuateth, and excuseth the sin, and thinketh well of that which should be hated.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. A Christian Directory (1673), Part I, Christian Ethics, ch. IV, Part V, Directions against Pride, and for Humility, Direct. III, on the odiousness of pride, no. 5 (the first sentence); the second sentence is Coit's verse 14 (What Tolstoy read).
Two verses of Coit's chapter 'Pride is a Prolific Source of Sin' (1902), joined (What Tolstoy read). The first is Baxter's, from the Christian Directory: 'Pride is the defence not only of itself, but of every other sin in the heart or life' becomes 'Pride defends not only itself but all a man's other sins'; 'it hateth reproof and keepeth off the remedy' becomes 'it hates reproach and pushes away the cure'; 'it hideth, and extenuateth, and excuseth the sin' becomes 'it hides and justifies sin'; and 'thinketh well of that which should be hated' is left out. The second, Coit's verse 14, has no credit in Coit's notes, and its author was not found; it is not in Baxter's passage, and Tolstoy's signature covers it because Coit's page sets it among Baxter's verses, as December found for 12-10.5 (Baxter and Bishop Thomas Wilson). Tolstoy makes 'A fault which humbles a man' 'The consciousness of sin, which humbles a man' (Сознание греха, смиряющее человека). No printable, for the joining and the changes.
5. Если ты не можешь тотчас же утишить гнев, удержи язык. Помолчи, и ты скорее успокоишься.
5. If you cannot at once quiet your anger, hold your tongue. Keep silent, and you will calm down the sooner.
From A Christian Directory · shortened by Tolstoy (more).
Baxter’s own wordsCommand your tongue, and hand, and countenance, if you cannot presently quiet or command your passion. And so you will avoid the greatest of the sin, and the passion itself will quickly be stifled for want of vent.

Shortened, close in sense: Baxter's 'Command your tongue, and hand, and countenance, if you cannot presently quiet... your passion' becomes 'If you cannot at once quiet your anger, hold your tongue'; 'the passion itself will quickly be stifled for want of vent' becomes 'Be silent, and you will calm down sooner'.
5. Человек находится в большой опасности, когда он связал себя такими обязательствами с грехами, что освобождение от них мучительно. Сначала человеку стыдно сознаться в своем грехе, потом трудно развязаться с ним; потом делается то, что отказаться от грехов — значит погубить себя в мнении света. Кто не остановится на первой ступени греха, дойдет до последней.
5. A man is in great danger when he has bound himself to his sins by such obligations that to be freed from them is agonizing. At first a man is ashamed to confess his sin, then it is hard to break with it; then it comes to this, that to give up his sins means to ruin himself in the opinion of the world. Whoever does not stop at the first step of sin will reach the last.
Baxter [and Bishop Thomas Wilson].
From Baxter, A Christian Directory · joined by Tolstoy from several places (more).
What Tolstoy read · Stanton Coit, The Message of ManA man is in a dangerous way when he hath plunged himself into such engagements to sin, that he cannot leave it without its costing him very dear ; it will be his shame to confess it, or his undoing in the world to forsake it. It will be hard breaking over so great difficulties.
Whoever stops not at the first degree of sin, runs the hazard of arriving at the last and greatest.
Rich. Baxter, Works, vol. iv. , pp. 359, 360
Bishop Thos. Wilson, Maxims, No. 653.
Source text: archive.orgBaxter’s own wordsAnd the man is in a dangerous way to this, 1. When he hath plunged himself into such engagements to sin that he cannot leave it, but it will cost him very dear: as it will be his shame to confess it, or his undoing in the world to forsake it, or a great deal of cost and labour must be lost, which his ambitious or covetous projects have cost him: it will be hard breaking over so great difficulties.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Baxter, A Christian Directory (1673), Part II, Christian Economics, ch. XXVI "Directions for declining or backsliding Christians"; the last sentence Thomas Wilson, Maxims of Piety and of Christianity, No. 653. Joined in Stanton Coit, The Message of Man (1902), ch. IV "We may be in danger of moral death", vv. 5-6, Christian Economics ch. XXVI, after "These are dangerous signs of an impenitent, unpardoned, miserable soul" (Coit: Works vol. iv, pp. 359-360); Wilson, Maxims, under "Temptation" (1898 ed., p. 151).
Tolstoy read Coit, who sets Baxter (v. 5, abridged) and Bishop Thomas Wilson (v. 6) one after the other; Tolstoy signed both with Baxter's name, so the last sentence, "Кто не остановится на первой ступени греха, дойдет до последней", is Wilson's, not Baxter's. The first sentence is close to Baxter as Coit gives him. The second recasts Baxter's alternatives (shame to confess it, or undoing in the world to forsake it; hard breaking over such difficulties) as a sequence of stages, "first... then... then", and "his undoing in the world" becomes "ruining oneself in the opinion of the world". Wilson's "runs the hazard of arriving at the last and greatest" becomes the certain "will reach the last".
