All depends on keeping the eye steadily fixed on the facts 

 of nature and so receiving their images simply as they are. 

 For God forbid that we should give out a dream of our imagi- 

 nation for a pattern of the world: rather may He graciously 

 grant us to write an apocalypse or true vision of the i 

 steps of the Creator imprinted on His creatures." 



BACON 



This I dare affirm in knowledge of Nature, that a little 

 natural philosophy, and the first entrance into it, doth dispose 

 the opinion to atheism, but on the other side, much natural- 

 philosophy and wading deep into it, will bring abo 



minds to religion." 



BACON
