He must be a very...
Pagina 43 - Gentiles not only hath feigned and superstitious devices, and heavy burdens of a useless toil, which we severally, as, under the leading of Christ, we go forth out of the fellowship of the Gentiles, ought to abhor and avoid, but it also containeth liberal arts, fitter for the service of truth, and some most useful moral precepts: as also there are found among them some truths concerning the worship of the One God Himself, as it were their gold and silver, which they did not themselves form, but drew...
Pagina 185 - ... speaking through a young and strong heart to the world. Very great was the influence of Plato in this period of wakening to thought. Nothing was known by experience of Nature, for little had been learnt since the time when Plato, theorising upon Nature, owned it to be impossible to arrive at any certain result in our speculations upon the creation of the visible universe and its authors; "wherefore...

Yet these suppositions, taken together, constitute the famous ' Theory of Ideas ;' and thus stated, may surely be pronounced to form no very appropriate object for the contempt of even the most accomplished of our modern
