Стр. 70 - Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

Analogy would lead me one step further, namely, to the belief that all animals and plants have descended from some one prototype. But analogy may be a deceitful guide.
Стр. 68 - If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me ; Even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the . darkness hideth not from Thee ; but the night shineth As the day : the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
Стр. 54 - He created a few original forms, capable of self-development into other and needful forms, as to believe that He required a fresh act of creation to supply the voids caused by the action of His laws.
