Notes the tendency of questions relating to things 'absolutely beyond the limits of human knowledge' to 'produce first a curious and then a sceptical spirit' causing many to 'speculate themselves into infidelity'. Asserts: 'Mysteries could never have been known if not revealed, and can be understood no further than revealed'. | |
