preconformity (uncountable)

    • 1825, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Aids to Reflection:
      These great First Truths, these good and gracious Tidings, these holy and humanizing Spells, in the preconformity to which our very humanity may be said to consist, are so infused, that it were but a tame and inadequate expression to say, we all take them for granted.
