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

 this — we can perceive that events are brought 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 intel- 

 ligent 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 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." 



Bacon : Advancement of Learning.
