; * But with regard to the material -world, we can at least go

" 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." 



BCTLER : Analogy of Revealed Religion. 



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

 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."
