" But with regard to tlic luatcrial world, vfc can at least go so far as tliia

" The only distinct moaning of the word ' natural ' is slalnl, Jixcel, or 

 tcllled ; since what is natural as much requires and presupposes an intelli- 

 gent agent to render it so, i. c., to effect it continually or at stated times, 

 as what is supernatural or miraculous does to effect it for once." 



Butler : An(do<ji/ 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 endeavor an end- 

 less progress or proCcicncc in both." 



Bacon : Advancement of Learning.
