"mysterious incorporation of the human race"

Russell Kirk, writing in The Conservative Mind:

Society is immeasurably more than a political device. Knowing this, Burke endeavored to convince  his generation of the immense complexity of existence, the "mysterious incorporation of the human race." If society is treated as a simple contraption to be managed on mathematical lines -- the Jacobins and the Benthamites and most other radicals so regarded it -- then man will be degraded into something much less than a partner in the immortal contract that unites the dead, the living, and those yet unborn, the bond between God and man. Order in this world is contingent upon order above. (68-69)
