"But with regard to the material world, we can at 

 least go so far as this — we can perceive tliat events are 

 brought about not by insulated interpositions of Divine 

 power, exerted in each particular case, but by the estab- 

 lishment of general laws." 



VViiEWELL: Bridgewnter Treatise. 



"The only distinct meaning of the word 'natural' is 

 stated, fixed or settled; since what is natural as much 

 requires and presupposes an intelligent agent to render 

 it so, i.e., to effect it continually or at stated times, as 

 what is supernatural or miraculous does to effect it for 

 once." 



Butler : Analogy of Revealed Religion. 



"To conclude, therefore, let no man out of a weak con- 

 ceit of sobriety, or an ill-applied moderation, think or 

 maintain, that a man can search too far or be too well 

 studied in the book of God's word, or in the book of 

 God's works; divinity or philosophy: but rather let men 

 endeavour an endless progress or proficience in both." 

 Bacon: Advancement of Learning.
