“But with regard to the material world, we can at least go so far asthis—we can perceive that events are brought about not by insulatedinterpositions of Divine power, exerted in each particular case, but by theestablishment of general laws.”

“To conclude, therefore, let no man out of a weak conceit of sobriety, oran ill-applied moderation, think or maintain, that a man can search too far orbe too well studied in the book of God’s word, or in the book ofGod’s works; divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavour anendless progress or proficience in both.”
