"But with regard to the material world, we can at least go ao far as this — 

 we can perceive that events aro broiiglit about not by insulated interpositions 

 of Divine power, exerted in each particular case, but by the establishment of 

 general laws." Whewell: Bridgewater 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 super- 

 natural or miraculous does to efiEect it for once."

"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 endeavor an endless prog- 

 ress or proficience in both." Bacon: Advancement of Learning
